Pune News: School Scandal: Student and Headmistress Face Legal Action Over Alleged Harassment of Class One Student
NpNews24 Online – Pune News | In a shocking revelation, a prestigious school in Pune finds itself embroiled in controversy as charges have been filed against a student and the school’s lady headmistress under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act (POCSO) and the Maharashtra State Prohibition of Ragging in Educational Institutions Act. The charges stem from disturbing allegations of harassment inflicted upon a class one student. (Pune News)
Allegations Unveiled:
The distressing incidents occurred over a span of several days, from October 3 to October 8, as detailed in the official complaint lodged by the young boy’s mother at the Parvati police station. Senior Police Inspector Jayram Paygude revealed that the harassment involved an older student and his classmate from the first grade and included inappropriate physical contact. Shockingly, the accused students even resorted to threats of physical violence to dissuade the vulnerable victim from reporting the torment.
Equally concerning is the alleged lack of appropriate action taken by the school’s headmistress, who purportedly remained passive in the face of the distressing situation. This inaction has prompted the mother of the affected child, along with other concerned parents, to confront the school administration on Monday, October 9, seeking answers and accountability.
Sub-Inspector AP Jadhav is currently overseeing the ongoing investigation into this grave matter.
A Call for Accountability and Reform:
The incident has sparked widespread public outrage and intensified calls for more stringent regulations within educational institutions to safeguard the well-being of children, protecting them from harassment and abuse. Additionally, it raises profound questions about the responsibility and accountability of school authorities when faced with such serious allegations.
