A teacher at Government School No. 11 in Raikhad has been arrested following allegations of physical harassment of female students. The accused, Ranchhod Shardul Rabari, is a primary school teacher at the institution.
The incident came to light after the parents of a 13-year-old girl approached the police. In their complaint, they stated that Rabari had been physically harassing their daughter for the past 15 days and had threatened her with consequences if she spoke out.
According to a media report, Rabari would call her into an empty classroom and harass her. She also claimed that he similarly targeted other girls.
The matter surfaced when the girl expressed her reluctance to attend school, prompting her mother to inquire further. After hearing her daughter’s account, the family approached the Gaekwad Haveli police station and filed a formal complaint.
The police have arrested Rabari, and further investigation is underway.
