Shocking: Teacher arrested for sexual abuse of girls

Hyderabad: Malkajgiri She Team under Rachakonda Commissionerate arrested a school teacher on Wednesday on charge of sexually abusing school children. The shocking incident came to light during the awareness conducted by She Teams on child sexual abuse at Mandal Parishad Public School at Edulabad village under Ghatkesar mandal.

During the programme some school girls approached the She Team police and narrated grisly accounts of sexual abuse on the students by the 26-year-old teacher K Ramana Murthy. The girls told the police that the teacher had been misbehaving with the students for the last two years.

The students alleged that the teacher used to take "objectional pictures" of them when they were doing yoga. He used to beat the students when they resisted. He refused to mend his ways though his superiors warned him several times. Basing on the complaint by the student, Malkajgiri She team registered a case against the teacher under various sections and arrested him.
