Students of SCB hospital's nursing school went on an indefinite strike demanding immediate removal of Kajal Rani Sinha's removal from the post of principal with police today filing a case against Sinha.

Alleging that Sinha had misbehaved with some students using "derogatory" remarks and beaten some causing injuries, the students went on a strike yesterday boycotting their hospital duties.

The hospital superintendent has formed a committee to look into the allegations of the students although the committee is yet to submit its report.

Meanwhile, based on a written complaint by a student, the local police has booked the nursing school principal on several charges under IPC and SC and ST (Prevention of atrocities) Act.
 

"Investigations into the case have started," the local police said.

A team of state BJP Mahila Morcha led by the party spokesperson Lekhashree Samantsinghar visited the nursing school campus and expressed solidarity with the agitating students.
