In Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district, three teachers were arrested for allegedly hurting a 13-year-old school girl. This incident happened in a government middle school restroom on January 2. The teachers were caught after the girl’s parents told the headmaster a month later, on February 2.
Once the headmaster informed the District Education Officer (DEO), they took action. The three teachers were immediately suspended and then arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. They have now been sent to police custody for 15 days.
This serious situation shocked many, showing that even schools need to be safe places for children.
