In a deeply disturbing case from Gujarat, a teacher at a private school in Jamnagar was dismissed after she cut a girl student’s hair simply because the child hadn't applied oil. The incident, which has sparked widespread outrage, took place at Swaminarayan Gurukul School and came to light after the student's parents lodged a formal complaint.

According to a report by India Today, the incident occurred on a Tuesday morning when the school's sports teacher used a blade to cut the girl's hair. The punishment was reportedly handed out because the student had not oiled her hair, a rule apparently enforced within the school.
