The incident had happened on the 3rd of this month and the Principal in question said that the Uva Province Education Secretary had also influenced her.
She said that an individual contesting the forthcoming election had presented a letter signed by the private secretary of the Chief Minister requesting a student to be enrolled to the school.

Later the Principal was called to the Chief Minister’s residence and scolded her.
She said thereafter she was forced to kneel down and apologize.
