A viral video from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, has surfaced, showing a heated confrontation between the mother of a seven-year-old boy and the principal of his school. The principal allegedly expelled the child for bringing “non-veg” food—specifically biryani—to school, making derogatory remarks about the boy’s Muslim background. The incident has led to widespread outrage, with the local Muslim community demanding strict action.

In the four-and-a-half-minute video, the principal can be heard making offensive comments, stating that he would not teach children who "demolish temples when they grow up" and accusing the family of attempting conversions through food. The boy's mother, visibly distressed, claimed that her child was verbally abused and locked in a room simply because of his meal. She further accused the principal of punishing her son based on religious bias, asserting that he was innocent and unaware of the situation.

The Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) of Amroha confirmed that a three-member team is investigating the matter and promised appropriate action once the findings are concluded.

The Amroha Muslim Committee condemned the incident, convening an emergency meeting and submitting a memorandum to the Union Education Minister, demanding an impartial investigation and strict measures against the principal.
