Accountant at Malala’s school released after interrogation

School's van driver still remains in custody for interrogation.

The accountant working at Malala Yousafzai’s school in Swat was released late Wednesday night after he was interrogated for the shooting incident, reported Express News.

The school’s van driver who was on duty when the incident took place still remains in police custody, while the two watchmen of the school were released on Wednesday.

According to sources, the security of all schools in Swat has been put on high alert.

Fourteen-year-old Malala was attacked on her school bus in the former Taliban stronghold of the Swat valley a few days ago as a punishment for campaigning for the right to an education and free expression.

She received a bullet to her head and is currently under treatment at a hospital in Birmingham where she faces a slow but sure road to recovery.

Malala, a cheerful schoolgirl who had wanted to become a doctor before agreeing to her father’s wishes that she strive to be a politician, has become a potent symbol of resistance against the Taliban’s efforts to deprive girls of an education.
