Two teachers arrested for alleged molestation

Police today arrested two teachers of a school here on a charge of molestation after the parents of about a dozen students lodged a joint complaint against them alleging that they habitually sexually assaulted the girls in the KG and primary classes.
As angry parents gathered at the school -- run by the Jawaharlal Darda Education Society -- this evening, the police took the teachers Yash Borundia and Amol Shirsagar in custody and whisked them away, fearing violence.
The parents then reached the Wadgaon Road police station and demanded immediate arrest of the culprits on the charge of rape.
Police had to use some force to disperse the crowd.

Police station officer Devidas Dhole said a case under sections 354 (molestation) and 354 (A) (sexual harassment) of the IPC and relevant sections of Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Act was registered against the two teachers and they were arrested.
The school management said the duo were sacked immediately.
Meanwhile, various political parties have called for a bandh tomorrow over the incident.
