"The police have registered a case against the two accused. They have also called the Forensics Science Laboratory team. A probe is underway," Mahisagar Deputy Superintendent of Police Kamlesh Vasava said.

Officials added that steps are being taken to cancel the teacher’s driving licence. The injured are currently receiving treatment at Lunawada Civil Hospital and Godhra Civil Hospital.
