Charsadda, Jan. 23 (TNS): In a sad development, a student in Charsadda shot dead his principal after the college administration marked him absent for missing classes to attend a protest in Islamabad.
The principal, Sareer Ahmad, was shot and critically injured allegedly by Faheem Shah, a second year student, on the college campus on Monday morning.
The incident took place after the student was allegedly reprimanded by the principal for his poor attendance record. However, the student accused Ahmad of blasphemy.
The student had skipped the classes to attend a sit-in of politico-religious parties in Islamabad’s Faizabad area.
Law enforcers have taken Shah into custody while the principal was driven to hospital to Peshawar, but he succumbed to his critical wounds en route.
