In the Aadhaar card, instead of the name of the child, 'Madhu's fifth child' was found written, which left the school and the Badaun District Magistrate shocked.
The girl's mother, Madhu had said, "I had gone to school to get my daughter admitted but the teacher mocked at her name in the Aadhaar card that said 'Baby five of Madhu' and denied her admission."
After the news went viral, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself took cognizance of the matter and upon his instructions, Aarti was admitted to the school.
