Video shows UP principal forcibly removed amid paper leak probe at Bishop Johnson Girls School
Prayagraj: A video capturing chaotic scenes at Bishop Johnson Girls School in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral, depicting the forceful removal of Principal Parul Solomon amidst allegations of her involvement in a multi-crore exam paper leak scam.
In the footage, school staff, led by the institution's chairman, can be seen entering Ms. Solomon's office and demanding her immediate removal. Despite her resistance, she was physically removed from her chair, and her phone was confiscated. The incident culminated in the installation of Sherlyn Massey as the new principal, amidst applause from onlookers.
The controversy stems from the alleged leak of the February 11 UPPSC Review Officer-Assistant Review Officer (RO-ARO) exam paper, for which ten individuals, including a school staff member, were arrested by the UP Special Task Force (STF). Bishop Maurice Edgar Dan of the Diocese Lucknow has implicated Ms. Solomon in the scandal, citing her removal as a consequence of her alleged involvement.
Ms. Solomon has since lodged a complaint, accusing several individuals, including Bishop Dan, of mistreatment during her removal. Bishop Dan, however, disputes these claims, stating that video evidence shows no physical contact occurred during the incident.
Police have registered a case based on Ms. Solomon's complaint, while investigations into the alleged paper leak and subsequent events are ongoing.
