State Human Rights Commission on Monday ordered that Sambhavi, the 10-year odl girl who claims to be a childhood friend of Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama in her previous life, should go to school.
SHRC Chairman Subhashan Reddy directed the collector of Kurnool district to enrol her in a school within a week. He said the girl should have all the rights of a child and the parents should not claim that she is a 'child saint'. The panel noted that Sambhavi's parents themselves claimed the girl possessed 'supernatural' powers.
'Whoever may be the parents, they can't do whatever they want with their child,' Reddy said.
Ruling that Sambhavi is a 14-year-old, the Commission said that the authorities should make arrangements to enrol her in a school.
