Bengaluru: A class one student was allegedly made to stand in the sun for nearly two hours as a punishment for arriving two minutes late to school at a private school near Attur Layout in Yelahanka.

The incident came to light when the child’s parents questioned the school authorities about the punishment and the principal allegedly behaved arrogantly with them.

The video footage of the incident was posted on X. Taking serious note of the incident, Yelahanka New Town police have registered a Non-Cognisable Report (NCR) and begun an inquiry.

Police said the act of subjecting a child to physical or mental suffering is punishable under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
