DHENKANAL: Tension prevailed at Mangalpur Nodal ME school in the district after a teacher was assaulted by a local during the prayer session on its premises. The school has remained shut for the past three days as parents, students and teachers staged dharna on the school’s premises, demanding immediate arrest of the accused.
Though Kantabania police had detained the accused, Aditya Kumar Gadapala, after the victim registered a complaint, they apparently released him with a notice. This irked the protestors, who are now demanding stern action against Gadapala.
