“Main accused Mohammad Ali was arrested on Sunday and sent to jail,” the SP said. “Two other teachers, Anil Kumar and Sajia, have been suspended for concealing the incident and not taking any action despite being aware of the incident.” All the survivors are in the age group of 12 to 14 years, said police. Ali, who used to teach students of Classes 6 to 8, has been exploiting students for the past three to four days, said a police officer. The incident came to light when students told their parents about Ali’s actions on May 12, said police. The next day, local village chief Lalta Prasad lodged an FIR, alleging that Mohammad Ali was sexually exploiting girls, and Sajia and Kumar knew about it but did not take any action. HT has seen the FIR. The same day, family members and villagers reached the school and thrashed the instructor, said one of the local villagers. One of the survivor’s fathers said, “The girls who went through this horrible incident are reluctant to come to the school. They are scared.”
