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.
