TURA, May 2
In a gut wrenching case, the principal of a school in Tura absconded on Saturday after severely beating up six children. The beatings were so severe that some of the children had broken bones while one was left with a fractured skull. The act was even more worrisome as the children were beaten right in front of their parents.According to sources, the principal of Godiya Math School, DB Maharaj, was so angered by the naughtiness of the six children that he began to beat them up. When the children complained to their parents and they went to affront the principal, he again went ahead and beat all the six children with a stick, causing severe injuries to all the children.
“I was shocked beyond belief when he began to hit my son right in front of me. To think that he was a man of God and was a preacher along with being the principal. What kind of human beats children so mercilessly? This man is a threat to society and he needs to be taken care of”, said one of the affected parents.
The shocked parents were in for another ordeal after the same principal then threatened the parents that he would fail their wards or not allow their children to go to other schools if they complained to the police.
“This is insane and he should be taken into custody at the earliest. Such people cannot be left outside. This person beat up children in front of parents. How can he call himself a person of faith? This is unheard of,” said a resident of Tura who requested anonymity.
The parents quickly rushed to the police and a medical checkup was done before an FIR was filed against the principal by the parents. However, Maharaj managed to flee from Tura immediately after the incident.
It has been informed that an investigation into the case in currently ongoing.
