Chitrakoot,

09 March (HS): The principal of a government primary school has been suspended

after a video circulated on social media, reportedly showing schoolgirls

massaging her, an official said on Monday. B K Sharma, District Basic Education

Officer (BSA), indicated that the suspension was imposed in response to an

investigation report presented by City Education Officer Praveen Kumar Dixit. Madhu

Rai, the suspended principal, works at a primary school in Naya Bazar. She has

been immediately suspended, and a disciplinary investigation has been launched

against her, according to the official. According to Sharma, the video, which

was posted on social media two days ago, shows Rai laying on the floor with students

caressing her hands and legs.

Taking

note of the video, Dixit was assigned to conduct an investigation, and early

investigations revealed that the charges were prima facie genuine, according to

the BSA. Rai was

relocated to the district headquarters while she was on suspension, he noted.

According

to reports, one student originally informed the headmistress that she lacked

massage skills. The headmistress then allegedly instructed the pupil to climb

on her back and push it. She subsequently lay on her stomach, and the pupil

started pounding her back with her feet. At the time, a school employee

allegedly captured the footage and then published it on social media. The video

has subsequently been shared online. The Basic Shiksha Adhikari took note of

the situation and suspended the headmistress with immediate effect. An

investigation will likely result in further action. The headmistress allegedly

refuted the charges and said that the film was created by artificial

intelligence.
