Students' hair cut in Andhra Pradesh hostel, claims of outsiders' involvement false

An incident has emerged involving the cutting of braids of students in a girls' hostel of a Gurukula school in Andhra Pradesh's Palnadu district. According to a report by Sandesh (Desh), claims were initially made on social media that some unknown persons had entered the hostel late at night and fled after cutting the hair of students while they were asleep.

However, the school in-charge, Rajini Kumari, has dismissed all such claims as baseless. She clarified that no outsider had entered the hostel. According to her, the incident took place within the school premises, where some students of the school had cut the braids of their fellow students for the purpose of mischief or a prank. She stated that the information circulating on social media was false.

The incident occurred at a Gurukula school located in Ramakrishnapuram village of Sattenapalli mandal in Palnadu district. When videos or information regarding the intrusion by unknown persons went viral on social media, serious questions were raised regarding the security of the hostel. Concerns spread among the public about how robust the security arrangements are for the students if outsiders can enter the girls' hostel late at night.

School in-charge Rajini Kumari expressed displeasure towards those spreading false information on social media without conducting sufficient investigation or obtaining information. She stated that such misleading posts are damaging the school's image and could cause anxiety among the students' parents. She further added that the identities of those spreading false information on social media have been identified, and the education department will file complaints against such individuals and take strict action against them.

Rajini Kumari has appealed to parents not to worry about the safety of their daughters. She also requested the general public not to immediately believe everything that goes viral on social media. She stated that it is extremely important to verify the truth of any news before forwarding it.
