Woman Principal Pulled From Chair, Forced Out Of Office In Prayagraj; Video Goes Viral

A distressing video capturing a controversial power change at Uttar Pradesh’s  Bishop Johnson Girls School in Prayagraj has caused a massive uproar on social media about the treatment that the school principal received from the staff members.

The purported footage shows the forceful removal of the former principal from her chair and the instalment of a new principal in her place.

The 2-minute and 20-second video, which was shared by an X user, has so far garnered 199.1K views on the platform. The video has also infuriated several social media users alleging that schools shouldn’t endorse such treatment.

In the video, a group of individuals, including the school’s chairman, entered the principal’s office and demanded her to immediately vacate her chair. However, the former principal resisted her removal after which she was eventually pulled out of her chair, and her phone was taken away.

The newly appointed principal was then made to sit in the chair, receiving applause from those present.

“This is the scene of Bishop Johnson Girls School in Prayagraj. Here the change of principal happens similarly. First, the door is broken and the principal’s room is entered into, the principal’s chair is snatched away, he is pushed out and then the new principal is made to sit on the chair,” the user captured the video.

The video left the X users upset over the treatment of the former school principal. “Schools have become places of business, and principals are humiliated. This is what happens when education becomes a commodity,” one user commented on the video.

“One should question motives, greed and integrity that situations are brought to this spot but those that should teach morality ethics values and educate,” another user commented.
