Why Shaan Pritmani was suspended for 3 days while the bully was only given one day suspension? This is unfair https://t.co/VSmFnVsYIZ
Shaan Pritmani gets choked out by a bully and passes out.

Shaan suspended for 3 days and the bully gets suspended for 1.
School officials didn’t write a formal complaint bc there’s been “too many complaints of bullying”.
Disgusting.

Shaan’s mother Sonika Kukreja said she it was "heartbreaking" while informing that authorities said it was an "altercation".
