The headmaster of a government primary school in Visheshwarganj area Bahraich of Uttar Pradesh has been suspended for allegedly indulging in obscene acts in front of students in a drunken state, an official said on Wednesday.

In a purported video, Durga Prasad Jaiswal, posted at Shivpur Bairagi Primary School in Visheshwarganj block, can be seen sleeping naked in school in an inebriated condition, much to the embarrassment of the students.

The officials said the veracity of the video which went viral is yet to be ascertained.

Agitated parents and villagers claimed that Jaiswal has often indulged in obscene acts in front of the students.

They said the headmaster takes off his clothes in class and rests.

Embarrassed by these antics, the girl students have stopped going to school, they said.

Acting on the complaint, the Basic Shiksha Adhikari ordered an inquiry by the block education officer after which Jaiswal was suspended.

"We got a complaint against Durga Prasad Jaiswal, primary school teacher and headmaster in Shivpur Bairagi Basik School of Visheshwarganj block, that he comes to school in an inebriated state. A video of the same also surfaced recently. However, the video is yet to be verified. He was suspended on July 24 on the basis of a preliminary inquiry conducted by the block education officer," BSA Avyakt Ram Tiwari said. -- PTI
