Madam used foul language and humiliated us: Saleeman
"Madamji used to make us clean toilets and also do other work. Whenever we wanted to study she used foul language and humiliated us. We were fed up. When we refused to clean toilets anymore, she threw us out on Monday evening," Saleeman said.
Teacher used to ask girls to cook food: Nafreen
Nafreen said the teacher used to ask other girls in the school to cook and do household work. Nafreen's mother Noorjahan said, "The school warden ousted both the girls in the evening and they came back alone the next morning. They should have sent someone with them. Our house is more than 5km away from the school... Girls are ill-treated in the school."
