On Camera, Headmaster Pulls Out His Belt, Attacks Education Officer In UP

A viral video shows the headmaster of a school in Uttar Pradesh removing his belt and attacking an education officer following a heated discussion about a complaint filed by a female teacher.

The incident took place at the office of Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Akhilesh Pratap Singh in Sitapur. Brijendra Kumar Verma, the headmaster of a primary school in Mahmudabad block, had come to provide his explanation regarding the complaints against him.

Mr. Verma became furious when the officer found his explanation unsatisfactory. In the video, he can be seen throwing his file onto the desk before removing his belt and striking Mr. Singh several times.

"When he couldn't answer satisfactorily, he was reprimanded. He then became aggressive, pulled out his belt, and attacked us," Mr. Singh explained. The headmaster struck the officer at least five times before bystanders intervened and pulled him away.

It is reported that the headmaster also threatened to kill the education officer. The city police have since arrested him.
