Police on the other hand, said they had deployed personnel to normalize the law and order situation.
"We were informed that the school authority got several threat letters and for that we deployed police to normalize the law and order situation. But till today no one is ready to say anything in front of the media," said Bikash Roy, Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI), Jalpaiguri police headquarter.
