Two teachers, including a headmaster, in Bonei sub-division of Sundargarh district are still at large allegedly after molesting minor girl students.
The Bonei police are yet to nab the accused putting the role of police under lens. Hundreds of locals of Tikayatpalli area under the leadership of Bonei MlA laxman Mundra had staged road blockade on NH 143 for hours about 13 days ago demanding arrest of the accused headmaster and teacher and the Bonei police had assured at that time that the accused would be arrested soon but in vain.
According to sources, headmaster Khetrabasi Pradhan of Jenamani High School had taken 21 girl students of Class X of the school to Badgogua High School for their appearing in 10th exam.
The girl students were staying in a rented house where headmaster Khetrabasi Pradhan was also staying. On February 23 night , Khetrabasi allegedly had switched off light of the room and called the girl students one by one and had shown them obscene videos in his mobile phone and had touched them inappropriately. When the girl students opposed the act, he threatened the girl students of dire consequence.
After the examination completed and the girl students went to their home, they informed their parents about the headmaster’s shameful act. After the FIR was lodged against accused headmaster in Bonei police station on March 8, he absconded and he is still at large.
Similarly, Nilambar Behera, a teacher of Bhalupani Primary School allegedly had hugged a 13- year-old girl of his village and had also molested her. The parents of the victim girl went to Tikayatpalli police station and lodged FIR on March 22.
“Our efforts are on to arrest them,” said Bonei SDPO SR Mohapatra.
