The school was reportedly being run 'illegally' till class 8 while having recognition till class 5 only.
Bharti has also registered a case against the manager of the school on the allegation of murdering the student as part of the black magic for the progress of the school.

Earlier, the mother of the deceased, Kamlesh, grieving the death of her son, said that the bulldozer should be run over the school.
"Bulldozer should be run on the school. There should be a CBI inquiry in the case. The culprits should be hanged," Kamlesh said.
Additionally, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate had also called for strict action against those involved in the alleged murder of the child.
She expressed concern that the country seems to have regressed in recent years.
"I can't believe that in the 21st century, 78 years after India's independence, we are witnessing such things...5 people from school are involved in this incident...we sent our children to school so that they can study and become something, so that they can be safe...there should be strict action against this...now it feels like in the past few years, our country has gone backwards," Shrinate said.
