New Delhi: A convent school in south Delhi’s Vasant Vihar was allegedly vandalized and robbed last night. Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi’s chief minister-designate, has condemned the attack on the Holy Child Auxilium School and tweeted this morning, “This kind of acts will not be tolerated.”
School officials say the window of the principal’s room was broken by the unknown attackers. A swarm of police officers was seen in the premises today; all students were sent home and a notice at the gate says, “No classes will be conducted today.”

The police claim it is a case of theft. Sources say around Rs. 8,000 was stolen from the principal’s office.

Education Minister Smriti Irani, who studied in this school, is expected to visit it shortly.

“Certain people came at night, broke the CCTV camera, went into the principal’s room and ransacked it,” said Father Dominic Emmanuel, spokesperson of the Delhi Archdiocese.

He alleged that the incident is in line with recent attacks on churches in Delhi.

After massive protests by Christian groups, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had tightened security around churches and other religious institutions.
