He said the teacher has been suspended for an indefinite period and a probe has been launched by the education department.

"The period of suspension would depend on the findings of the probe committee and further decision would be taken on the basis of that," Prasad said.

The teacher had allegedly "wished for the death" of Azmi (75) according to officials.
