Students of Breeks Memorial Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School staged a protest blocking the road in Udhagamandalam on Thursday.
The students were protesting demanding action against a person working at the school, whom they claim was responsible for the death of a former principal at the school, who died from a heart attack on Thursday.
The person in question had been removed from his post as principal of the school for misappropriation of funds, police said, and was replaced. After his death on Thursday, the students protested demanding action against the people who they claim had falsely accused the former principal.
