Wisdom School officials arrested in Tezpur over serious allegations

OUR CORRESPONDENT

TEZPUR: In a sensitive and controversial development, Tezpur Police have arrested three individuals associated with Wisdom Senior Secondary School in Tezpur. The arrests follow serious allegations involving the consumption of beef at the school’s girls’ hostel and an alleged attempt to convert a Hindu student to another religion.

The individuals taken into custody are the school’s Director, Dr. Isarafill Hussain, the Owner, Taj Uddin Ahmed, and Associate Owner, Yusuf Qureshi. The arrests were carried out late last night after the parents of a girl from Rongapara lodged a formal complaint with the police.

In response to the allegations, several organizations, including the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the Bir Lachit Sena, strongly objected and demanded a thorough investigation. These organizations also submitted a formal FIR against the school authorities and urged the Chief Minister to intervene in the matter.

Taj Uddin Ahmed, the owner of the school, has denied all allegations. He stated that the claims made by the student are completely baseless and without merit.

The matter has reached the attention of the Education Minister and the Chief Minister, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, who has reportedly taken the issue seriously. Official sources have indicated that, given the highly sensitive nature of the accusations—particularly those related to beef consumption and religious conversion—and in order to prevent any potential communal unrest, Tezpur Police acted swiftly to detain the school authorities.
