By Siraj Qureshi: A school teacher from Agra on Tuesday was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for sexually harrasing a group of female students.
The group of minor girls had complained about the teacher to the District Magistrate Navneet Singh Chahal at the district headquarters. The girls were accompanied by an RTI activist who urged the students to report the teacher’s inappropriate behaviour.
The students said that the teacher touched their private parts under the guise of a body search and made “lewd” comments about them.
