The girl, a student of class-XI, filed a complaint with the police that two teachers, Chaitali Gupta and Lipika Saha, took her to the teachers` room yesterday and stripped searched her alleging that she had stolen Rs 150 from another student, the sources said.
The money, however, was not found on her.
