The incident reportedly took place recently within the school, which falls under the Talachua marine police jurisdiction in the coastal district, authorities confirmed.

The headmaster filed a formal complaint on Saturday, prompting the accused's arrest the following day. Despite applying for bail, the teacher was remanded to judicial custody after his application was denied by a Kendrapara court.
