Teacher behaves inappropriately with Class 5 girl, principal among 3 arrested

Telangana Police arrested a government school teacher, the school principal, and a former public representative following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a Class 5 student at a primary school in Kamareddy district.
The incident came to light after the student’s family filed a complaint, prompting an investigation by local authorities.
According to reports, the school principal allegedly tried to suppress information about the incident, with the former public representative reportedly mediating in the matter.
Bikhnoor police subsequently registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against the teacher, principal, and the ex-official.
All three were arrested and have been remanded to judicial custody as the investigation continues.
Earlier, in September this year, a teacher in Telangana’s Kamareddy district was arrested for the alleged sexual assault of a six-year-old girl, which had sparked massive protests, demanding severe punishment for the accused and cancellation of the school’s licence.
