The committee headed by Additional DEO Bhajanlal Majhi has been directed to complete the probe and submit the report soon. The committee members will visit the school and record the statement of its headmaster Lochan Khara and the student, Pintu Majhi.

According to reports, Pintu had taken the transfer certificate (TC) from the school on January 18 to take admission in another school.
