In-charge headmistress Geetha had locked the school at around 5 pm on Saturday, February 14, after classes concluded. The incident came to light when she reported for duty at about 8:30 am on Monday, February 16. It is said that the miscreants entered the school premises, broke the glass of the school notice board, and entered a classroom where banners fixed on the wall were pulled down.

Further, a matchbox and tissue papers were found inside the classroom. The taps in the boys’ toilet were uprooted and the steel hand-wash sink was removed and thrown in the middle of the school ground, it is stated.
