A lower primary school headmaster on Monday rusticated after he came to school brandishing a “machete” in Cachar district of Assam, India.
The video of the incident went viral on social media, prompting the police and the education department to take action against the headmaster, reports NDTV.
The headmaster, Dhritimedha Das, 38, is a resident of the Tarapur area in Silchar, and has been working as a teacher for over 11 years at the Radhamadhab Buniyadi School.
On November 5, the police got a call from the school and rushed there to find Das with the machete.
According to the police source, Das was angry and frustrated because of irregularities by some other teachers and he was trying to caution them by showing the machete.
“He has been suspended, but hasn't been detained, as other teachers or school authorities are yet to file an official police complaint,” police said.
