According to officials, one of the suspended officers, headmistress Shama Nafees, repeatedly ignored instructions to report for BLO duty at her designated polling station and instead applied for medical leave. The second officer, assistant teacher Anurag, allegedly refused to perform SIR-related tasks even after being contacted by senior authorities.
