Dibrugarh: Protests erupted in Eastern Assam‘s Moran on Saturday following the release of the principal of Moran Higher Secondary School from police custody.

The principal was accused of molesting a class 7 student, sparking outrage among students and activists of the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU).

Fueled by anger and seeking justice, a large group of students and AASU activists staged a massive protest outside the school. They blocked roads and chanted slogans demanding immediate and stringent action against the principal.

“This is a shameful act that has never happened before in Moran Higher Secondary School,” an AASU activist said, expressing shock and disgust.
