Sudha had worked with Jaihind Primary School for 26 years, said principal Jyotika Malkani. “She was very hardworking teacher. Initially with the pre-primary section, she was promoted because of her good track record,” said a shocked Malkani, adding: “Sudha had attended school on Saturday and interacted with parents as usual. When I mentioned a weak child, Sudha told me not to worry and she would take care of the child from Monday. She was so cheerful. Colleagues told her that her saree was shining and she was all smiles,” the principal said.
