Pardeep Khanagwal, Principal, Government Senior Secondary School, Arniwala sub-tehsil, was shifted to the office of District Education Officer, Fazilka, on deputation on Wednesday in a bid to prevent any confrontation between him and school employees. On Tuesday, staff members and some villagers had held him hostage, alleging that he misbehaved with teachers, particularly women, and also accused him of corruption. He was let go when the police came.

“The principal has been shifted till the inquiry is pending,” said District Education Officer Kulwant Singh. Meanwhile, a senior lecturer of the school, Gurdeep Singh, has been asked to act as officiating principal.
