Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today announced a probe by the education department into the alleged suicide by a student of an east Delhi school, after her parents claimed that she was "sexually harassed" by two teachers.
Sisodia informed the House about the education department probe after Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta raised the issue, saying that parents of the student had alleged molestation by two teachers in their police complaint.
Gupta sought to know whether the government will take any action against school.
"I have directed the education department to probe to matter," Sisodia told the House, adding it was a serious issue.
Sisodia assured the House that if the school is found guilty, action will be taken in the matter
