They immediately informed the school headmistress, Dhanalakshmi.The door lock was thoroughly cleaned with water before the cook opened the kitchen.
Later, as directed by the block educational officer (BEO) Arun, the headmistress lodged a complaint with the Erumapatty police, who registered a case.
Namakkal district SP S Rajesh Kannan said, “We could have conducted an inquiry if the school staff had contacted us before cleaning.”
Meanwhile, Union minister of state for information and broadcasting and parliamentary affairs L Murugan condemned the inhumane act and sought action against the miscreants.
