Municipal School teacher in Gujarat transferred over allegation of molesting student
A principal of Surat Municipal School has been transferred over allegations of molesting a student. Municipal Education Officer (MEO), Surat, Vimal Desai said that a three-member committee has been also formed to probe into the allegations against the principal.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Municipal Education Board Member Rakesh Hirpara has demanded police action against the principal and shared a purported video of the principal’s act with the media persons.
Municipal Education officer Desai told The Indian Express, “We received information about the principal’s misconduct based on which we transferred him to another school… When questioned the principal denied the allegations… We have now come across the video.”
Desai further said that they have no information about the student yet and no parent has until now submitted any complaints regarding this.
“We will decide the future course of action on whether police complaint should be registered against him or not after questioning the principal and the school teachers again. We have also set up a three-member committee to probe into the allegations,” he added.
Meanwhile, while speaking with the reporters, Hirpara said, “The complaint along with evidence had already reached MEO Vimal Desai and members of Municipal Education Board. As no satisfactory action was taken by them, the victim’s parent contacted us and handed over the video.”
He added, “The accused principal is a highly influential person and no strict legal action has been taken against him. We have informed MEO Vimal Desai that if no police complaint is registered against the principal till Friday, we will personally meet the Surat Police Commissioner and request him to register an offence.”
