KOTTAYAM: A man filed a complaint with police after his son was forcibly stripped naked by his classmates to recreate a scene from the hit movie ‘Pushpa’. A complaint was lodged with the Pala police after the naked pictures were put on social media. The incident took place in a private school in Pala.

According to the school authorities, the ninth-class student was tortured by classmates to copy the same scene from the movie where the actor is shown getting stripped by assailants. The child was photographed naked on the 10th of this month. The boy had to complain to his teacher after he was again forced to do the video by classmates last Thursday. The complaint was filed against seven classmates. The child's father said that the incident took place when there were no teachers in the classroom. He alleged negligence of the school authorities in the incident. However, the school authorities promised legal action in this regard.

On Thursday noon, a staff meeting was called and the parents of the abused child and others were summoned. The school authorities then informed the issues and assured punitive action including expulsion of the children from the class. Then, on Friday morning, the ethics committee comprising the school manager and the municipal councillor convened and decided to take strict action.

Childline authorities and education authorities were also informed. A complaint was also filed with the police. Minister Veena George sought a report from the Director of the Women and Child Development Department regarding the incident. The Kottayam Child Welfare Committee has directed the District Child Welfare Unit to provide immediate counselling to the child and submit a report. The committee also informed that the Pala SHO has been ordered to investigate the incident.
