A teacher of a private school, who was charged with molestation of six students recently, has surrendered before police in Assam's Kokrajhar district, a senior officer said.
The accused, Saifur Rahman, was also a senior leader of All Bodoland Muslim Students' Union (ABMSU).
The organization suspended him over the allegations, the police officer said.
"The matter came to light earlier this month after the parents of the minor girls filed a complaint against Rahman, who taught science at the private school in Gossaigaon area of the district," he said.
Rahman, who was on the run following the FIR registration, surrendered at Gossaigaon police station on Saturday, he added.
