A Times of India report recently quoted several students as saying that Bharti walks around the school property with her face covered and also sprays a perfume-like liquid on several girls while they are sleeping. She has also been heard speaking to a girl who is not visible. The students have also alleged that she often tugs at clothes and mattresses while students are sleeping and that they have no option but to pretend they are fast asleep. The students are mostly from Class 6, 7 and 8.
Local authorities are now looking into the matter and have promised to get to the bottom of the incident.
