Why Villagers and Advocates Took a Stand
On Thursday, advocates Amrendra Singh Bahubali and Shani Patel, along with villagers and students, staged a protest at Primary School Nadwa. They demanded justice for Brijendra Kumar Verma and warned that if necessary, the matter would be escalated to the Allahabad High Court.
The protestors declared.
“This is not just the fight of a teacher but the dignity of an entire society. If justice is denied here, we will not hesitate to seek remedies at the highest judicial level.”
The solidarity shown by villagers and students highlights the rising anger against alleged misuse of authority by educational officials.
Role of BSA in the Controversy
Central to the controversy is the Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) of Sitapur, who, according to protestors, misused his power to influence the investigation against Verma. The BSA, being the highest district-level education officer, is accused of:
Pressuring inquiries to work against the headmaster.
Shielding other individuals allegedly responsible for the assault.
Favoring certain teachers despite their absenteeism.
Protestors demanded the immediate transfer of the BSA from Sitapur to ensure a neutral investigation.
CCTV Evidence Raises Critical Questions
One of the most disturbing aspects of the case revolves around CCTV footage.
A selective video clip was circulated online, showing the headmaster in a controversial light.
However, villagers claim that after the belt incident, clerks and middlemen attacked the headmaster for a prolonged period.
They demand that full-day CCTV footage be preserved and included in the investigation.
Protestors further argued that if Verma was sent to jail based on selective evidence, then those who physically assaulted him must also face equal consequences under the law.

Allegations of Misuse of Power
The conflict escalated when Verma, reportedly humiliated at the BSA’s office, lost his patience and reacted in anger. Villagers claim that.
The BSA insulted and harassed the headmaster publicly.
Continuous pressure was put on Verma to justify false charges.
An attempt was made to cover up absenteeism of another teacher by manipulating records.
This alleged favoritism towards an absent teacher has raised serious doubts about the integrity of Sitapur’s education administration.
Demand for a Fair High Court Investigation
The villagers, advocates, and protest leaders made it clear that they will not accept biased inquiries. Their demands include.
A time-bound investigation under the supervision of the High Court.
Immediate departmental action against the BSA.
Retrieval of call records between the BSA and the favored teacher to ensure transparency.
Equal treatment of all parties, including clerks and middlemen involved in physical violence.
Such demands echo larger debates on accountability in India’s education system. For more context, check Times of India’s education coverage.

Lack of protection against harassment by officials.
Misuse of administrative authority to manipulate inquiries.
