Bhadohi college principal shot dead

Varanasi: Two bike-borne assailants intercepted the car of a 56-year-old college principal, urged him to take their mobile phone to talk to someone, and then sprayed him with bullets as soon as he lowered his car window at a village in UP's Bhadohi on Monday morning.
Enraged at the murder, UP Madhyamik Shikshak Sangh's president and former MLC Chetnarayan Singh has warned of a statewide protest by teachers if Yogendra Bahadur Singh's killers were not arrested within 72 hours.
Singh's driver told police that the miscreants attacked the principal near Baswanpur village on his way to Shri Indra Bahadur Singh National Inter College, Bhadohi SP Meenakshi Katyayan said. Before fleeing, they shot at one of the car tyres also.
Singh was rushed to Maharaja Balwant Singh Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Many mourners, including BJP functionaries and the party's Kashi region unit general secretary Ashish Singh Baghel, who is manager of the college, reached the hospital to pay their last respects to Singh.
