Nearly 50 students of the Telangana Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Residential School (Boys)-Jainath staged a sit-in in front of the II Town police station, seeking protection against their principal, who was allegedly harassing them, here on Thursday.
As many as 46 students walked 6 km to the police station from the school located at the Mavala mandal centre. They arrived at the station by 6 am and protested for three hours.
Moved by the plight of the pupils, Inspector Karunakar served them breakfast.
Karunkar brought the issues of the students to Superintendent of Police Gaush Alam, who in turn, informed their problems to Collector Rajarshi Shah.
