A private school principal on Wednesday made some students stand semi-naked in hot sun as punishment.
The incident took place at the Chaitanya Bharati School in Punganur town of Chittoor district on Wednesday but it came to light on Thursday after a video went viral.
As the Education Department and the school management started incurring the wrath of netizens, the district officials hurried to initiate an inquiry.
Principal Maharaja Naidu, who got enraged over four students in the age group of 9-10 years arriving late, had ordered the punishment.
