A drawing teacher of a government school in Bathinda's Bhaini village was suspended for alleged indecent behaviour with girl students, an official said today.
"Drawing teacher Ramesh Kumar has been suspended for indecent behaviour with girl students," Bathinda District Education Officer (DEO) Maninder Kaur said.
The matter came to light when a Class 7 student informed her mother about Kumar and her parents lodged a complaint against him with the DEO.
In an inquiry conducted against Kumar, over 60 Class 7 and Class 8 students of the co-education school complained of indecency, the DEO said.
Some of the girls were even reluctant to come forward to lodge a complaint out of fear, an official said.
Kaur said the teacher was earlier transferred from another nearby school on the same charges.
