GURGAON:
HIGHLIGHTS
More than a dozen children of the GD Goenka World School, from nursery to Class 12, were on the bus with teachers and staff, on their way home, around 3 pm. The youngest were heard crying in a mobile phone video that has captured several terrifying moments on the bus.
Teachers and students were seen on the space between the seats, ducking to take cover from the hail of stones. A teacher had her arms wrapped around a frightened girl.
Showing remarkable presence of mind, the driver drove away from the attackers and maneuvered the bus to safety.
The school bus was right behind a state-run bus that had been set on fire and wrecked by the mob.
After the attack, the seats were filled with shards of glass.
Policemen were present but they could do nothing to help the group, the teachers and staff complained.
"There were policemen, but no one was listening to them. The mob didn't care... We covered all the children and made them sit on the floor," said a teacher.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blamed the Haryana government for their inaction. "Utterly shameful. More disgusting is the complicity of those governments who are allowing it through their inaction," he tweeted.
Some schools in Gurgaon have announced that they will be closed on Thursday.
"Padmaavat" row: There were no policemen to help the students of GD Goenka World School in Gurgaon, the teachers and staff complained
Gurgaon Police Commission Sandeep Khirwar told NDTV that strict action will be taken against those involved in the violence. "This is a very condemnable incident. We have brought some culprits to book. Will take stringent action against them," he said.
"Padmaavat" is set for release today but groups like Karni Sena have vowed to block the film at all costs, in defiance of Supreme Court orders. The protesters insist that the film twists the story of 14th century Rajput Queen Padmini, who preferred to jump into a fire to surrendering to Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khilji.
Violence and arson has been reported from parts of Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh -- the states that had initially banned the movie despite the censor board allowing it with tweaks.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh's final attempt to ban the film on grounds of potential violence. The court said banning a film violated creative freedom.
"Padmaavat" stars Deepika Padukone as Queen Padmini, Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh, the husband of Padmavati, and Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji who leads an invasion to try to capture the queen."

India turning into a disgrace of a country I had plenty of respect for India I even loved India before I travelled there with my fiance.
But after my fiance getting sexually harassed/assaulted and reading all this that is happening there India has fallen in my esteem.
I know India does not care about two peoples opinions and what is written on a forum but what the hell is happening in India?
They want to be a beacon of democracy but yet an actress has a bounty on her head and women are treated like crap.
They kill innocent people because they "believe" they are killing cows? They kill people who they believe are "untouchable"?
I realize that India has a huge population but what is happening in this country is a disaster, India has given the world a lot of amazing culture, history, cuisine etc.
But what is happening now in the present shouldn't be happening people should be allowed to speak their minds.
Kids going to school should not be attacked or caught in the middle of a riot over a movie, disgraceful.
