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.

23-year-old woman found dead at Delhi home; suicide suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.
Police said her father, Vinod Kumar Singh (51), told them that he and his wife were away at work at the time of the incident, while their son and the other daughter were also not at home at the time of the incident.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
