An FIR has been registered against a school teacher for allegedly showing obscene visuals to girl students on his mobile phone in Chhattisgarh's Korba district, police said today.
Nishant Soni, a contractual teacher at the government middle school in Kendai village under Podi Uproda block of the district, allegedly showed obscene videos to girl students.
Based on the complaint of a minor girl, an FIR has been registered against him, Morga police station house officer Rakesh Gupta told PTI.
"Soni is absconding and efforts are on to nab him," he said.
According to the complaint, Soni had forcibly shown lewd visuals from his mobile phone to class VI and VII girl students and indulged in obscene talk with them several times.
Fed up with it, a girl student informed about it to her parents following which they, along with some other people from their locality, went to the school authorities, Gupta said.
Following this, the school authorities approached the police last night.
Meanwhile, a school education department official said that Soni has been suspended with immediate effect following the complaint against him.
