City Spidey spoke to the mother of the victim. She lashed out, saying, “The school needs to answer how such an incident happened. Why weren’t there two teachers on duty? Why did the teacher in charge leave the responsibility of the class on an ayah [help]? And how could the management remain silent on this lapse? Why did they not remove the principal and the teachers? They are still in denial, and defiant!”
