February 10, 2018: A teacher of the Carmel Primary School in Kolkata has been arrested for allegedly molesting a minor, on Friday, after angry parents surrounded the school and demanded access to the accused.
According to the report, a Class 2 student was molested by her dance teacher at the school in Rashbehari Avenue near Deshapriya Park. The teacher has been harassing the child for months now, and had threatened to bury her alive if she complained.
The child reported the incident to her parents, who in turn, informed their relatives and other parents. The angry parents then surrounded the school and demanded that the accused teacher be handed over to them.
One of the agitating parents alleged that the school authorities tried to downplay the matter when they were informed about it. "It was then we decided to stage a protest outside the school," he said.
Kolkata Police rushed to the spot to contain the situation and took the accused teacher in custody. The police also managed to safely escort him away from the angry parents and an investigation has been launched.
