According to the police, Lal Ram was objected to this and told the kids who were eating the food to throw it away because it had been served by Dalits. Following the teacher's instructions, the students threw the lunch.
The victims' families were informed of the occurrence by the victim girls, who then went to the school with some of their relatives to demand that the man be punished.

According to the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, a case was filed at the Gogunda Police Station against the cook. "Since the situation was confirmed, quick action was taken. Students threw food because Dalit girls were serving it. The cook used to get the food served by the students of his choice, who are from upper castes, but yesterday, a teacher asked the Dalit girls to serve the food because they were complaining of not being served well," police informed.
