NEW DELHI: A case has been filed against the wife of AAP MLA from Nangloi Jat, Raghuvinder Shokeen, for allegedly beating up two school students with a pipe. The children were allegedly beaten up for bunking classes. The students got bruises on their hands, legs and waist.

Shokeen's wife, Manisha, is a principal at Rajendra Public School in Nihal Vihar. The school is reportedly owned by Shokeen and he also has an office on the school premises.

The children study in Class IV and VII. Their parents, who approached police on Tuesday, alleged that the principal locked the two children inside a classroom and thrashed them brutally. They said she also threatened them that the children would not be taken back in the school, police said.

The school authorities, however, said the two students were seen jumping off the third floor to second and then to the first floor. They took the help of the coolers and grilles and were caught by the school guard, school authorities told police. They said the students were given notice for their alleged act.

The kids were sent for a medical check-up and the report confirmed the bruises. A case has been registered at Nihal Vihar police station under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 342 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation) and section 23 of Juvenile Justice Act (punishment for cruelty to juvenile). Police have not yet arrested the AAP MLA's wife.
