Police said the case was registered on a complaint from social worker Neelesh Rakshyal on 26 January. The complainant alleged that that the school authorities ‘used’ the students to perform a drama on 21 January, where they “abused” Modi for introducing the CAA and NRC. The management tried to create ‘fear’ among the Muslims that they would have to leave the country if the CAA and NRC are implemented, Rakshyal said. Later, a local resident uploaded a video of the function on his Facebook page, the complainant said. Police said no one has been arrested so far.
