NEW DELHI: A school in Madhya Pradesh turned into a scene of chaos after a heated argument between the principal and the librarian exploded into a physical fight- with slapping, hair-pulling, and smashed phones - all captured on camera.
The video of the incident that occured last week, now viral on social media, shows the two women clashing inside the premises of Eklavya Adarsh Awasiya Vidyalaya in Khargone, about 300 kilometres from Bhopal.
In the footage, librarian identified as Madhu Rani is seen arguing with principal Praveen Dahiya over the division of duties. The situation escalates rapidly when Dahiya slaps the librarian, grabs her phone, and smashes it on the ground.
“Madam, how dare you? Aap ne mujhe thappad kaise maara? Aap ki himmat kaise hui? (how did you slap me? How dare you) ” Rani shouts, accusing the principal of breaking her phone. However, Dahiya is seen picking it up and throwing it again.
The principal then begins recording on her own phone, prompting the librarian to slap her back. What follows is a full-blown altercation - the two women pull each other’s hair and trade blows. “How dare you touch me?” yells the librarian, while the principal repeatedly claims she acted in “self-defense.”
In the background, a young boy - reportedly the principal’s son - pleads, “Mumma, rehne do (Mom, let it be),” but no one intervenes until a woman finally steps in and asks them to stop.
The video went viral on social media with some users calling for action from women's right and child welfare commissions while some praised the lady who tried to intervene.
District authorities took action soon after the incident. Khargone’s tribal welfare department assistant commissioner Prashant Arya said both women were removed from their positions and attached to his office. A departmental inquiry has been ordered, and police action will follow based on its findings.
According to police, the fight reportedly began over a dispute involving the distribution of books to students. Both women later approached the Mengaon police station to file complaints against each other, and were subsequently admitted to the district hospital.
