The OC is yet to interrogate the complainants, Sonchung Yeite (principal) and Franky Bapui (teacher), who were the victims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking to this daily, Yeite informed that the landlord called him and the teacher to the back area of the hostel, as there was a leakage in a septic tank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We went there and as the principal of the school, I wanted to see the situation. The landlord, upon seeing me, started using derogatory words and attempted to assault me. I asked him if I had done anything wrong and asked not to assault further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0We went to the office and I asked again as to whether the reason behind his anger was the septic tank or the hostel. He didn&#8217;t listen and started assaulting us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We were forcibly taken to the house; it wasn&#8217;t an assault but an attempt to murder. Even today, my body is in pain. My cousin (who is a teacher) was there to stop us, but he was also assaulted. He doesn&#8217;t know anything about the issue. After the arrival of the police, we were rescued,&#8221; the principal said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;If the police had not come to pick us up, we would not have been alive,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The school was established in 2012 and provides classes from nursery to Class 8. A total of 315 students are studying at the school, including day scholars and boarders.
