Principal Nahid Siddiqui was on leave when the said incident happened and based on the investigation findings, further action will be taken against her,” Fareedpur Station House Officer Dayashankar told The Indian Express.

It was found that he was guilty of getting a different prayer sung (during morning assembly),” said Kumar.
