Una – A government school in Una district was thrust into the spotlight today as a shocking incident unfolded, leaving the teaching community and local authorities in a state of disbelief. In a disturbing display of violence, a class 12 student allegedly assaulted the school principal after being asked to cut his hair.
The incident occurred at a government school adjacent to Una district headquarters, where tensions escalated dramatically during a routine interaction between the principal and the student.

In a sudden outburst of rage, the student vehemently refused to comply with the principal’s request. Witnesses report that the situation rapidly deteriorated as the student slapped the principal with force, leaving the school staff in shock and disbelief.
However, the aggression did not end there. Infuriated by the principal’s suggestion, the student proceeded to take the violence to a horrifying level by strangling the school principal inside his office.
