Principal of a school in Kushtia district has been sent on a month-long forced leave for caning students refusing to attend private coaching run by the school.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Mofizuddin Ahmed, also Chairman of the Governing Council of the Kushtia Police Lines School and College, issued the leave order for Principal Abu Dadra Mohammad Arif Billah on Saturday amid protests by students and guardians.

Earlier in the day, the protesters formed a human chain and held a protest rally demanding termination of the school principal.

The Governing Council of the institution also formed a three-member investigation committee headed by Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Subhash Chandra Saha to look into the issue.

Ten students of the 8th, 9th and 10th grades of the school were injured when they were ruthlessly caned by Principal Arif Billah on Thursday for declining to attend the coaching classes run by the school.

ASP Subhash Chandra Saha said that Senior Assistant Lecturer Liakat Ali was made the acting-principal of the institution.

He also said that authorities of the Jessore Education Board (JEB) had already directed Kushtia District Education Officer Nikhil Ranjan Chakrabarti to submit report to Khulna Divisional Deputy Director and the JEB Chairman after conducting an investigation into the overall situation of Kushtia Police Lines School and College.
