About the incident

Reportedly, Priya's tragic decision came after she was allegedly scolded by her school principal following her complaint about the inappropriate behavior of the school bus driver. On Tuesday, Priya had informed her family that the bus driver, Shivcharan, had misbehaved with her. The family took the matter to the school, but instead of reprimanding the driver, the principal allegedly scolded Priya. Following this, Priya reportedly became quiet and returned to her class.
