A government school teacher has come under scrutiny after being accused of sexually assaulting a sixth-grade student, according to police reports disclosed on Monday.

The accusation was detailed in a complaint filed by the victim's mother, who reported that the inappropriate behavior was revealed by the victim's sibling. The incident has understandably made the student hesitant to return to school.

In response to the allegations, several women organized a protest pushing for strict measures against the teacher. Authorities have lodged a case under Section 74 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and multiple sections within the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Investigations continue as the community demands answers.
