Kanpur: In what could be one of the most bizarre incidents ever recorded at a school, a class VIII student from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh submitted an application to his school authorities seeking a half-day leave citing his own death as the reason.
What is even more bizarre is the fact that the principal of the school approved the leave without reading the application and the student went home happily.
