Jaipur: A teacher of Army Public School in Kota was arrested after the school principal registered an FIR against him for allegedly misbehaving with four girls. The incident took place on July 16 and the FIR was registered almost 20 days later on August 4.
The FIR has been registered under various sections of Protection of Children from Sexual offenses Act and sections 354 (outraging modesty), 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC. The sections suggest that the teacher threatened the girls to keep mum about molestation.
The teacher, identified as Santosh Kumar, was interrogated by the police. It came up during investigation that he had misbehaved with at least four girls in the school. It was unclear as to why the school administration waited so many to register an FIR.
