The angry students and their parents also damaged parts of the school building situated in Christian Ganj police station area in Ajmer and allegedly set a school bus on fire.

Tak has lodged an FIR against the school management for cheating under Section 420 of the IPC and breach of trust (Section 406 of the IPC), said Kailash Dan Ratnu, Kotwali circle officer.

Divulging facts about the incident to DNA, Rahul Dev, a parent said, the CBSE examination dates have already been announced and it would start from March 4. There are 45 students in the high school level. "Irrespective of their claims that the school is affiliated to the CBSE and with only a few days left for the exams, the school management had asked the students to fill up the examination forms for National Institute of Open Schooling," he added.
When the parents contacted the school management, the latter could not provide a satisfactory answer, said an aggrieved parent.
"On the contrary, they bluntly asked us to take back the fees," he added. The aggrieved parents pleaded and asked the management as to how would the school compensate for the loss of one year to students?
After attempts to solve the issue amicably, dispute between the management and parents continued for a few days, said the police.
