At a time when the safety of children in schools is already under scanner following the murder of a seven-year-old boy in Gurugram's Ryan International School, the principal of a primary school in Kanpur was found teaching children in an inebriated state.

Pradeep Kumar, the principal of a primary school in the Nevada village of Kanpur's Bilhaur, was found teaching children under the influence of alcohol.
