Principal killed, students protest

Firozabad: The principal of a school here was shot dead by armed assailants leading to protest by about 100 students, three of whom fell unconscious after police used force to disperse them on Saturday morning.

The students in the age group of 6 and 13 of S. R. Gyaneshwari Higher Secondary School squatted on the national highway 2 near Asafabad crossing here to protest the murder of their principal, Santosh Kumar Dhakra on Friday, school authorities said.

They said police pulled them by hair and baton charged them to clear the road. While the boys ran away when the police arrived, the girls kept sitting, the sources said.

Armed assailants broke into Mr. Dhakra’s rented house and killed him on the spot. His land lady was also injured in the process and had to be hospitalised.

A magisterial inquiry has been ordered into last night’s killing. PTI
