Death of Class V student in Bengal
Kolkata (PTI): Two days after she was granted bail by a court, the principal of the Christ Church Girls' High School Helen Sarkar alleged that the vandalism in her school was carried out in the presence of the police, which also forced her to resign under the prodding of the mob.
Sarkar also maintained that those who had indulged in vandalism in her school situated at Dum Dum after the death of a Class V student 11-year-old Oindrila Das were "not part of the school". "I was forced to resign by the police, under the instructions of the mob.”
“Police throughout the incident acted on the words of the mob”. “I had to give in to the police considering the safety of my teaching and non-teaching staff and hostel children who were scared," she told reporters here. To a question, the principal said she had called in the police and requested them to give protection to the school, but instead vandalism took place in their presence.
