According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, the incident involved a tenth-grade female student who was reportedly harassed by the school owner. Upon receiving the complaint, the directorate formed an investigation committee to look into the matter. The committee's findings confirmed the harassment incident. Based on the recommendations of the investigation committee, the directorate took strict action and revoked the school's registration. According to the police report, the principal initially sent obscene messages to the student on her mobile phone.
On June 1, he called her to his office, where he allegedly assaulted her. The principal is also accused of threatening to fail the student in her exams if she did not comply with his demands.
The police have since arrested the accused and launched an investigation into the matter. To date, more than complaints of various natures against privately managed schools have been resolved. The functions of the Directorate include redressing the grievances of complainants, parents, and staff of private schools, as well as monitoring and assisting private institutions from pre-primary to college level.
