Rani Dayamoyee High School in Rangamati.After the rumour of child abduction, a new canard has spread in Rangamati of blood accumulation. Terrified parents are sitting in schools to ensure the safety of their children.
On Monday (Jul 22), the rumour of blood exaction spread from Rani Dayamoyee High School in the district's Kotowali thana. At this time, hundreds of guardians came to the school though they were later assured by the headmaster and other teachers that it was merely a malicious lie.
Headmaster Ranatosh Mallik, said: “When the rumour spread, terrified people gathered at the school; later, they were pacified and their fears assuaged. Many guardians wanted me to shut down the school early which I didn’t do because had I done so, the rumour would have spread.”
Rangamati Deputy Commissioner AKM Mamunur Rashid, observed: “This is another concocted story; we are asking people to be alert. We have already asked for awareness related message to be spread.”
Legal steps will be taken against those spreading rumours, he added.
