Dalit Struggle Committee has lodged a complaint against the principal of Mallarani rural municipality-5 based Bhumi Development Primary school, Yashodha Shrestha, 48, at District Police Office on April 2 accusing him of discriminating Dalit children at the school.

According to DSP Nirmal Budhathoki of DPO, a complaint of caste discrimination was registered against Shrestha for reportedly telling Dalit children that they need not come to his father's 13th memorial ceremony. 

Shrestha, however, refuted the claim of discrimination and said that she had been living as a tenant in a Dalit's house since the past one year.
