This is a moral collapse. When protectors become predators, what are children being taught? pic.twitter.com/M2ppwj1Z1W

Several students submitted evidence of his misconduct in the form of WhatsApp chats. They approached the police superintendent’s office, along with the female teacher and the deputy sarpanch. Deputy Sarpanch Sensy Chandoul stated that the students also informed him that the teacher threatened to award low marks in English and Chemistry exams if his instructions were not followed. The police have taken the matter seriously and registered a case under the POCSO Act against the teacher.

Editorial Perspective

A stark example of moral decay among today’s teachers; one can only wonder what lessons they are imparting to their students.
