“The teachers had decided to inspect the bags after some students had been disciplined for unusual hairstyles. The inspection revealed the disturbing contents, sparking concern among parents and teachers. While the teachers' vigilance brought the issue to light, the presence of such items in students' bags raises concerns about their safety and well-being,” the X user added.

However, the vice principal of the school said that the items were not found all at once and were discovered in the bags of different students over the past several days. 

"The objectionable items found in the children's backpacks were not discovered all at once. Different items have been found in the bags of different students over the past several days. To discourage students from developing criminal tendencies, we check their backpacks every day," the vice principal said, according to local media reports.  

School teachers expressed concerns that some of the students might be using drugs, potentially even on campus. The incident has been reported to local authorities, and a thorough investigation into the matter is underway.

Educators and families are demanding strict action and stronger measures to improve student discipline and safety within the school, Lokmat Times reported.
