The Commissionerate police have arrested an undergraduate student of the Raja Madhusudan Deb Degree College at Patia here for brutally attacking the college principal on June 30.
The student attacked the Principal as the latter had not allowed him for adopting malpractice during an examination held about six months ago. The entire act was caught on CCTV of the college.
The BSc second year student was caught red-handed by Principal Prashant Rout while he was engaged in malpractice during the examination. Since then, the student had a grudge on the teacher and was in search for an opportunity to take revenge.
At around 10 am on June 30, when Rout was present in the college campus, the youth came in and attacked him with a hammer leaving him bleeding. The Principal is currently undergoing treatment in an ICU of a private nursing home here.
After a complaint was filed at the Infocity police station in connection with the incident, police arrested the youth on Thursday evening.
