Siblings can’t identify teacher who locked them up in storeroom

MUMBAI: A day after a girl and her brother claimed they were locked up in their school's storeroom for almost three hours as punishment, the children on Thursday failed to identify the female teacher who they alleged had confined them. The police have also found several holes in the kids' version. Their father, however, maintained the siblings were indeed locked up, but relented that the woman might have been a parent.

"An identification parade was held for all our teachers on Thursday. But the children could not point out who had locked them up. I'm certain they were never confined at all," said principal of the secondary section P K Tiwari.

Students of classes VIII and V in the Hindi-medium section of Sheth Nihalchand Laloochand High School in Malad, Ritu Singh (14) and her brother Ganesh (11) live in the vicinity with their parents. Their father, Anil, is an electrician with the defence forces at INS Hamla.

According to the siblings, Ritu was skipping in the school ground during the recess on Wednesday when a schoolmate got hurt from the rope. He apparently complained to a female teacher from the Gujarati-medium section and she allegedly asked Ritu and Ganesh to fetch their bags from their class. Around 3.15pm, she confined the two to a classroom, used for storage, and then forgot about them, the children said. "Ritu said after a long time, through the crack of the door, she spotted PT teacher Sujeet Surve pass by and raised an alarm. She said Surve let them out around 6.15pm. But Surve has refuted it," said investigating officer Vinod Patil. "Moreover, the storeroom keys are kept with principal Tiwari, and he was the last to leave at 6.10pm."

The siblings claimed the teacher wore a pair of jeans, but only formal clothes are allowed for staffers. CCTVs on the ground also did not capture anything.

Tiwari said the children could have cooked up the story. "I learnt around 4pm on Wednesday that Ganesh was not in his class and his teacher called up his father about it. Later, I learnt that Ritu was also absent and assumed that the two might have left together. The two possibly made up the story to evade a scolding by their parents for missing class," he said.
