The principal of a secondary school here has been suspended for allegedly beating up students for not greeting him with “As-Salaam-Alaikum”.
Principal secretary and nodal officer of the district, Dimple Verma on a visit to the Bilhari Secondary School in Tilhar area on Sunday was told that principal Chand Mian was demanding that he be greeted with “As-Salaam-Alaikum” and he would beat up those wishing him “good morning”, an official said.
A class VI student who met the senior officer along with other locals, told her that since the children were not being able to say ‘As-Salaam-Alaikum’, they were beaten up. He also showed injury marks on his neck to the visiting official, Chief Development Officer Prerna Sharma said.
