Following the August 2025 stabbing death of a student at Ahmedabad's Seventh Day Adventist Higher Secondary School, the Gujarat government issued two show-cause notices to the school for discrepancies in its administrative and accreditation documents. The notices, issued by the Directorate of Primary Education and the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, seek explanations on the school's management, minority status, and approval to run multiple campuses. The school had briefly been under government management after earlier concerns but regained control following a High Court order.
