Hours after the incident, the district education officer had suspended headmistress of the school Bijayini Tripathy after parents demanded a thorough probe and action against those responsible.

Barring one student, all have been discharged from the hospital. The lone student has been kept under observation and will be discharged soon, hospital authorities said.
