Jalore private school to lose affiliation over killing of 9-year-old Dalit student

Jaipur: Rajasthan education minister B D Kalla on Tuesday said that the government was in the process of terminating the affiliation of the private school in which a minor Dalit boy was beaten up who later succumbed to injuries.

The minister told reporters in Bikaner, “The affiliation of the school is being terminated. At the same time, an advisory will be issued so that no such incident occurs in the future.”
