Police have arrested the principal of a nursing college in Odisha’s Angul district for issuing fake admit cards to some students. According to sources, 3 students of Sai Sraddha Nursing School at Chhendipada had gone to appear the exam in March. But the officials of the exam center did not allow on the grounds that their admit cards were fake.
When the students took up the matter with their college principal Kailash Chandra Jena, the latter did not listen to them and instead threw them out of the office after scolding them in foul language. Following this, the students filed a complaint with the police and launched a fast unto death in front of the district collector’s office.
They sat on dharna demanding action against the principal for issuing fake admit cards and abusing them.
The police rushed to the spot and seized the petrol from their bags. On the assurance of the deputy collector that their grievances would be looked into, the students called off their agitation.
Reports stated, 14 of the total 21 students of the nursing college could appear at the examination.
