Karnataka Students Clean Toilet, Days After Minister Said "Never Again"

This is the third such incident in the southern state this month alone.

Children in Karnataka's Shivamogga were forced to clean and scrub school toilets in a video that has been widely circulated online and drawn angry protests from parents. Shivamogga is state Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa's home district and the Block Education Officer has filed a report.

The shocking incident took place sometime last week but the video surfaced just now. The school told the BDA the students - from Class Six - were only asked to pour water in to and not clean the toilets. Responding to the incident, the Education Department has suspended the principal, Shankarappa.

This is the third such incident in the southern state this month alone.
