Bhubaneswar/Bhawanipatna: Ending his silence over talks of Sunshine Public School Principal Mamita Meher’s visit to Raipur along with the School Managing Committee President Govind Sahu, the woman teacher’s father Suchindra Meher today urged not defame her daughter.

The woman’s teacher said Mamita was of a good character and had never visited Raipur of Chhattisgarh State along with Govind Sahu. He also requested the media not to resort to character assassination of her daughter.

“I have complete faith in the Chief Minister and hope justice will be delivered,” said Suchindra Meher.
