Main accused in the Itishree Pradhan burning case, Sub Inspector of schools Netrananda Dandasena and Tikiri police ASI Muralidhar Pradhan, who did not give protection to the victim despite her repeated request, were suspended from their jobs.
The District Inspector of Schools had been suspended earlier.
Under the aegis of Rayagada Zilla Shiksha Sahayak Sangh, around 200 teachers took out a rally and submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik through District Collector Dr Sashibhusan Padhi, demanding justice and free treatment to the victim.
The rally was led by union president Gaurishankar Behera, secretary Mantuswar Mallick and Kambu Hikaka.
The teachers demanded that the State Government meet all the expenses towards the treatment of Itishree in a good hospital and a Crime Branch inquiry into the case and stern punishment to the culprits.
A similar rally was conducted at Kashipur by the primary teachers association which submitted memoranda to the SP through the local police station and the Collector through the BDO.
According to sources, the health condition of Itishree, who got serious burn injury, was deteriorating very fast. She was critical according to the doctors of a hospital at Visakhapatnam. Her body was continuously swelling.
Notably, Itishree, a Shiksha Sahayak in Tikiri UP School, was poured with kerosene and set afire on last Sunday night by an unknown miscreant. She was sleeping at her school hostel then. By the time, she was rescued and admitted into a nearby hospital, her condition had turned critical with 90 per cent burn injury.
