Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh), May 8 The parents' association at the Heartmann school have decided to lodge a complaint against the school authorities after about 35 children were held hostage for non-payment of fees.
According to reports, the school management had confined the children in a room on Saturday because of non-payment of fees.
When the parents came to pick up the children after school hours, they came to know about the children being locked in a room.
