A Class 12 student in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district allegedly shot dead his school principal on Friday afternoon after he was scolded for coming late, police officials said. He told that he and his classmate from Arts stream fled from the spot on the scooter of the deceased.
Superintendent of Police Agam Jain said that at around 1.30 pm, Principal SK Saxena (55) was shot in the head at the entrance of the toilet of Dhamora Government Higher School.
“Saxena died on the spot.” The alleged shooter and his associate fled on the deceased’s scooter. Efforts are on to nab both the students,” Jain said.
City Superintendent of Police Aman Mishra told PTI that only one round was fired from the locally made pistol, which has not been recovered yet. He said that more information will be available after the postmortem report of the deceased comes.
Mishra, who is leading the investigation at the crime scene, said, “As per preliminary investigation, both the accused were upset after being scolded for coming late today and earlier too.”
In-charge District Education Officer RP Prajapati said that Saxena was the principal of Dhamora Government Higher School for the last five years.
Harishankar Joshi, a teacher at the institute, told reporters that Saxena was a “gem of a person” and claimed that the alleged shooter was a “notorious boy” who went to school as per his wish.
Joshi said, “Principal Saxena used to counsel such students. If things did not improve, he would call the parents of such students. Saxena had cordial relations with all the staff.”
