Haldwani:

A class 10 student at an Uttarakhand school has filed a sexual harassment against one of her teachers. In her complaint, the girl claims that the teacher molested her and also sent her inappropriate pictures on WhatsApp and Snapchat.

The 16-year-old victim reported the incident to her parents, who subsequently filed a complaint with the police.

“A teacher at a private school in Haldwani had been sending lewd messages to a student on social media. We have received the complaint and initiated a probe. The accused will be arrested soon,” Haldwani circle officer Nitin Lohani said.

The accused teacher, who taught at the same school, allegedly molested the student and sent her explicit messages, causing her significant distress. The matter came to light when the student confided in her parents, who then approached social organizations for support. Together, they filed a complaint at the Kotwali police station.
