Bidar, Feb 14, 2020: The principal of school in Karnataka and the mother of a student, who were arrested in earlier February over a play critical of the Citizenship Amendment Act, have been granted bail.
The play was staged in the school run by the Shaheen Group of Institutions by students of grades four, five and six on January 21. Five days later, the police charged the school with sedition over remarks allegedly made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the play.
The mother, the police had claimed, tutored the child to introduce words not in the script. The principal was arrested because the play was held with her knowledge and permission, they had said.
The school play caught the attention of the police when a clip of the event was circulated online. The police claimed they received a complaint against the play and filed the case.
