“Jharkhand | School students in a village in Dumka tied their teachers to a tree & allegedly beat them up for providing fewer marks to them due to which they flunked their exams

“We received info on incident & held talks with all teachers. When we reached there, students said that they were given very less marks in practicals & they didn't receive adequate response from their teachers,” the official said.

Suman Kumar, the assaulted math teacher recounted in an interview with ANI: “Students called us on the pretext of holding a meeting & said their results were spoiled. It happened because their practical marks were not included in results. That was to be done by the headmaster. So we couldn’t have taken any step in this regard.” 



 Gopikandar police station chief, Nityanand Bhokta is reported to have told journalists that the school failed to file a complaint against the students because “it might spoil the careers of the students.”
