After 24 hours, Kolkata teachers held hostage by failed students are freed
After holding their headmistress hostage for 21 hours, 29 students of a school in south Kolkata finally lifted their siege on the basis of a promise by higher authorities that their answer scripts would be re-examined. Teachers of the school said off the record that the decision to re-examine answer scripts was humiliating and would set a very bad precedent.
