“Whatever the family members and school authorities revealed, this might be an attempt to escape the pressure of examination. However, we cannot come to any conclusion without talking to the students directly,” Roy said.
Cachar police informed their counterpart in Dhemaji and the student’s family members were also informed.
Mahatta said that according to the direction of the director general of police (DGP), Assam Harmeet Singh, the students will be sent home.
