The parent was arrested as it was found that she gave her chappals to her daughter to be used while delivering the controversial dialogue

Four days after the management of a school in Karnataka’s Bidar was booked in a case of sedition and breach of peace based on a complaint alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image was tarnished in a play staged by children against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the headmistress, and a parent was arrested on Thursday.

Confirming this, Bidar Superintendent of Police (SP) Sreedhara T said, “the accused – Fareeda Begum, the in-charge headmistress of Shaheen School and Anuja Minsa, mother of the student who delivered the dialogue which mentioned slapping the PM were arrested based on evidence collected by the police based on the case filed on January 26.”

He added that an initial probe indicated that the headmistress played a crucial role in organising the “controversial” play as she knew and approved the script that contained controversial dialogues against the PM and other leaders.
