Several students of primary section in the city's Hauz Qazi area were allegedly detained by school authorities on Monday after their parents failed to clear the school fees.
The parents alleged that the school authorities had detained their children in the basement of the school building from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm, even as the temperature touched 40 degree Celsius.
They claimed that when they reached the school at 12:30 pm to pick up their children, they were told that the children were locked in the basement.
The head mistress was informed about the issue, parents claimed.
An FIR has been registered by the police under Section 342 of IPC and Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act.
