The complaint comes after a group of parents visited the East Delhi Centre, only to find it closed, with no staff members present except a lone security guard.

“This is beyond devastating for us,” said one parent who wished to remain anonymous. “Our children’s futures are at stake, and we trusted this institution with their education.
