According to police, the incident took place when Ganesh Puja celebrations were underway in the school.
"On September 2 at about 2.30 pm when Ganesh Puja was going on in an upper primary school, the headmaster who was present there misbehaved and outraged the modesty of the minor girl studying in class 8.
