The students of Gopabandhu Vidyapeeth under R Udaygiri in the district have stopped coming to the school due to fear of ghost in the school premises.
Sources said that the students of the school have not attended their classes for the past four days in fear of presence of an evil spirit. As many as 10 students have been unwell and locals have attributed the incident to the presence of evil spirit and sought the help of a sorcerer.
Since the incident, the parents are not allowing their children to go to school due to their superstition. Meanwhile, R Udaygiri Block Education Officer (BEO) Biswanath Bhuyan visited the school and took stock of the situation.
