A school in Madhya Pradesh turned into a wrestling ground after an argument between the principal and the librarian escalated into a physical altercation, with both slapping and pulling each other’s hair. The two women have been removed from their positions and have reportedly filed a police complaint. The incident took place at Eklavya Adarsh School in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone, around 300 kms away from the capital Bhopal.
In a viral video, the two women-the principal and the librarian-can be seen and heard arguing over something. The librarian records the argument on her phone. Enraged, the principal slaps her, snatches her phone, and throws it on the ground.
“Madam, how dare you? Aap ne mujhe thappad kaise maara? Aap ki himmat kaise hui? (How dare you slap me),” the librarian asks and questions about her phone being smashed.
The principal picks up the phone from the ground and throws it again, shattering the device.
“How did you break my phone? How dare you slap me?” she continues to ask.
The principal denied throwing the phone and began recording the argument on her phone. It was then that the librarian resorted to a physical fight and slapped the principal on the left arm, leading to an all-out brawl between the two women.
The librarian pulled the principal’s stole.
In response, the principal pulled the librarian and started hitting her left, right and centre. While the librarian kept asking, “How dare you touch me?”, the principal claimed this was in “self-defense.” The two kept pulling hair and exchanging blows.
In the background, a boy can be heard saying, “Mumma, rehne do (Mom, let it be).”
No one seemed to intervene until another woman stepped up and politely asked the two to step back.
