A 27-year-old teacher working in an aided higher secondary school in Sembanarkoil was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly misbehaving with a class 7 girl student.

Arun Prasad, 27, working as teacher in the aided school in Sembanarkoil was also running a tuition centre near the school. The girl came to tuition class a few days ago and Arun Prasad misbehaved with her.

Another woman teacher who got wind of the incident reportedly threatened the hapless girl that they would throw acid on her if she ever disclosed the incident to anybody else.

The girl who was suffering from trauma and mental agony fell ill. Subsequently, she was admitted to a private hospital.

Arun Prasad, who feared that he would get exposed, attempted to conceal the incident by coming forward to offer a compensation to the girl’s parents through a local AIADMK activist.

As news spread, irate students and public besieged the school on Monday demanding action against Arun Prasad. The school authorities, however, managed to send Arun Prasad out safe.

Still worse, the relatives and supporters of Arun Prasad pelted stones on the agitating students forcing students, who then resorted to road blockade.

Angry students ransacked Arun Prasad’s house and the private hospital. On information, senior officials of education department including chief educational officer Santhanam and district education officer Paramasivam rushed there and conducted enquiry. Police arrested Arun Prasad on Tuesday.
