Ponda: Following a complaint lodged by a Margao-based women NGO, Ponda police on Wednesday evening booked a teacher of a private primary school at Bethora for disrobing female students. The accused, however, was arrested only late Wednesday evening.
Ponda DySP Nelson Albuquerque said they have booked the teacher after the NGO ‘Goenchea Bailancho Ekvott’ lodged a complaint against the teacher and his father-in-law, who is chairman of the school society.
The NGO has also submitted a video clip along with the complaint as evidence.
Albuquerque said that in the clip, the teacher is seen removing clothes of female students in front of the chairman.
The police officer said that the act amounts to outraging modesty of the girls and the accused has been booked under section 354 B (disrobing the victim) of IPC, 8 of Goa Children’s Act and Sections 8 & 12 of POCSO.
