The teachers, however, could not identify the students involved in the incident.

Sarkar, who is also the secretary of seven examination venues, said: “We could not identify the students involved. However, I have reported the incident to the state education department. The respective schools will also be informed.”

Teachers from all three schools said they were unaware of the incident.

“I have no information about such an incident. I have to check it with the students,” Shankar Laha, the headmaster of Nadipar NC Uchhya Vidyalaya, said.

Soumit Das, the headmaster of Nalanda Vidyapith echoed Laha.
