Female student hospitalised after Principal’s caning

A Grade Eight female student of the Walasmulla National school was hospitalised following an alleged assault by the Principal, Walasmulla Police said.

The student’s hands and back were injured due to the assault.

According to sources, a group of friends had shared chocolates brought by a student on her birthday in the classroom and several of the wrappers had littered the classroom.

Upon witnessing the scene, the Principal had used the cane on the student’s hands.

Sources said that while the student was picking up the fallen wrappers in the classroom and putting them in the bin, the Principal had once again caned her on her back, saying the punishment was her birthday gift.
