The footage, reportedly recorded after special coaching classes for competitive exams like NEET and JEE, triggered immediate action. The school principal, Pramila Evangeline, was transferred to another school, and the district collector ordered an inquiry. The video depicts a group of students inside a classroom with bottles and food packets, with conversations suggesting alcohol brought from outside. Authorities are investigating when the video was recorded, whether those seen are students, how alcohol entered the campus, and whether adequate monitoring was in place during the session. Further action will follow the inquiry's findings. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: administration inquiry, alcohol, Kanyakumari, school controversy, student misconduct, Tamil Nadu Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/students-seen-drinking-liquor-inside-tamil-nadu-school-probe-ordered/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
