A headmaster of a Government school in the Sundargarh district is now in soup for allegedly dancing with girl students on the school premises recently.
The District Education Officer has ordered an inquiry into the matter.
The BEO of Hemgiri block went to school on Friday and the inquiry into the matter will be conducted by the BEO and the ADEO on Saturday in the school.
According to sources, Dilip Naik works as headmaster in Kanika High School under Hemgiri block of Sundargarh district. On Sunday last, a party had been organised jointly by the teachers and the students in the school premises.
After the party was over, when the girl students danced with the tune of DJ music, headmaster Naik allegedly joined them and also danced with the girl students. Later, when the video of headmaster dancing with girl students went viral, locals had protested it. Some villagers recently went to school and sought an explanation from Naik.
On the other hand, headmaster Naik has admitted the incident.” Since Sunday was holiday, a party was conducted jointly by teachers and students in school premises. When the girl students were dancing with the tune of DJ music, they dragged me to dance,” Naik explained.
Meanwhile, Hemgiri BEO Surendra Sahu stated, “As per the direction of DEO, I had gone to school on Friday for an inquiry. ADEO and myself will conduct enquiry in school on Saturday. If we find the HM guilty, action will be taken against him.”
Significantly, there is an allegation that headmaster Naik usually comes to school in inebriated condition and takes class in school but still he has been continuing as headmaster of this school.
