The teacher is accused of allegedly hitting a student that had resulted in injuries to his head, according to the PTI.
According to the PTI, as per parents, the woman teacher, who allegedly hit the student, routinely subjected students to abusive language over the last two years and would ask them to boycott some of their colleagues.
The parents, who entered the school along with local functionaries of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, claimed previous complaints to the management had yielded no results.
The management has taken a lethargic approach in the matter so far and the teacher must not be allowed to be part of the school, Thane-Palghar MNS chief Avinash Jadhav said, the news agency reported on Thursday.
On Thursday, the school management said the teacher had been asked not to enter the premises, adding that it had written to the education department to suspend her and take further action. A copy of the letter written by the school management to the state education department is with PTI.
"We will file a case against the teacher and school management at Naupada police station. Strict action must be taken," MNS leader Avinash Jadhav told reporters.
Videos showing irate parents and MNS activists entering the school went viral on social media soon after.
