Meerut: Asst teacher thrashes principal for not letting him put signature first on register

In a shocking incident, an assistant teacher allegedly thrashed the principal of a government inter-college for what seems to be a very silly issue.  The asst teacher thrashed the principal for not allowing him to put his signature first on a register since that determines the seniority level.

The shocking incident took place on February 3 after which the principal, Mahender Singh, of Kisan Inter-College was admitted to a hospital with injuries on his face.

As per reports, the principal had followed government guidelines which states that in case two persons have been appointed teachers on the same date, seniority will be determined by the teacher's age.

Assistant teacher, Amit Kumar, wanted to sign first on the register though he was younger to another teacher. Daurala station in-charge Kiran Pal Singh said, "The accused Amit Kumar has been booked under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (insult and provocation) and relevant provisions of the SC/ST Act. He has been arrested and sent to jail."

Meanwhile, the education department has suspended the accused teacher.
