Earlier the Block Education Officer had conducted a probe following complaints that the teachers of the school were going on unauthorized leave, were instigating students to revolt against teachers, and were resorting to factionalism. The probe report had revealed that some of the complaints were true.
Even a Zilla Panchayat meeting held in March had recommended action against erring teachers. Now, after the DDPI himself raided the school, the suspension orders have been passed.
