Mohali, 18 August: Mohali deputy commissioner Gurpreet Kaur Sapra pulled up the principal of Government College, Phase VI, here, for her “callous attitude” in the incident of thrashing of NCC cadets after the Independence Day celebrations. The DC had marked an inquiry to additional deputy commissioner (ADC) Charandev Singh Mann, who has summoned the principal, cadets and the self-styled instructor for recording of their statements on Friday.
Sapra said, “The principal has been asked to submit a report, but she tried to inform me telephonically that the matter has been resolved. So I had to make her understand that she has no powers to decide that and must do what she has been asked to. It was very callous of her to have taken the matter lightly. Seven NCC cadets were allegedly belted in full view of the audience after the Independence Day parade in Mohali on Tuesday. The officials took note of the incident after the video of the self-styled instructor flogging the cadets on their backs went viral.
