Gopalganj, Bihar News: Gopalganj school headmaster was allegedly assaulted after a group of people entered the premises of a higher secondary school in Baghechi village under Barauli police station area of Gopalganj district on September 22. A video purportedly showing the incident has since circulated on social media.

According to the complaint submitted by headmaster Sanjay Kumar Trivedi, around six named accused persons and 50–60 unidentified people allegedly entered the school campus and confronted him. The headmaster alleged that he was assaulted when he came out of his room.

The incident reportedly occurred while an examination was underway at the school. Following the disturbance, the examination was affected and had to be stopped temporarily, according to the complaint.

Crowd Allegedly Entered School During Examination Sanjay Kumar Trivedi stated that he was inside his office when he came out and was allegedly confronted by a group of people. He claimed that when teachers attempted to intervene, they too faced pushing and alleged physical confrontation.

The incident created confusion among students and staff members on the school premises. The circulation of a mobile phone video has brought the alleged incident into public attention.

However, the authenticity and complete circumstances surrounding the video will have to be established through the police investigation.

Allegations Made Against the Headmaster The dispute reportedly involves allegations related to students and practical examinations.

In his written complaint, the headmaster alleged that some people had encouraged students to make statements against him. He said allegations had been made that he pressured girl students to participate in a dance competition and threatened to fail them in practical examinations if they did not participate.

The headmaster denied these allegations and described them as false and baseless. Another allegation reportedly concerns telephone calls to students at night. Trivedi has also denied the allegation, according to his complaint.

Since these are allegations made by the respective parties, their factual accuracy has not yet been established independently.

Headmaster Alleges Dispute Over School Construction Work The headmaster has also alleged that the incident may be connected to an earlier dispute over construction work at the school.

According to his complaint, pressure was allegedly being put on him to award a contract related to the construction of three laboratory rooms at the school. Trivedi alleged that after he did not agree to give the contract, he received repeated threats and was allegedly warned that he would face consequences.

He has claimed that the disagreement over the construction work may have been one of the reasons behind the alleged assault. These claims will also form part of the police investigation.

Written Complaint Filed at Barauli Police Station Following the incident, the headmaster submitted a written complaint at Barauli police station. Police have reportedly started investigating the matter based on the complaint.

Investigators are expected to examine the viral video, statements of teachers and students, the circumstances at the school and the allegations made by the complainant. The investigation will determine who entered the school premises, what led to the confrontation and whether the allegations made by either side are supported by evidence.

Examination Disrupted After School Violence Allegation The incident has also raised concerns because it allegedly occurred while an examination was being conducted. Schools are expected to provide a secure environment for students during examinations. Any disruption inside a school campus can affect students, teachers and the examination process.

In this case, the examination was reportedly stopped following the disturbance. Further details about whether and when the affected examination will be conducted again would depend on the decision of the education authorities.

Police Investigation Will Establish the Facts At present, several allegations have been made in connection with the incident, but the complete sequence of events has not yet been established.

The headmaster has requested a fair investigation, stating that if any allegation against him is proved, appropriate action should be taken. At the same time, he has alleged that he was assaulted on the basis of accusations that he says are false. Police verification, witness statements and other available evidence will be important in determining the actual cause of the dispute.

The identities and roles of all persons involved, including the six named accused and unidentified individuals mentioned in the complaint, will also need to be established through the investigation.
