A dance teacher of the Presidium School in North West Delhi’s Ashok Vihar area was on Monday sacked and a police complaint filed against him for allegedly behaving inappropriately with a Class V girl.
A senior police officer said that the teacher, who joined the school this month, is alleged to have behaved inappropriately with a Class V student during a dance class. “The teacher allegedly behaved improperly and used inappropriate language with the student. He is alleged to have told the child ‘I will remove your ID card, then your shirt and then your skirt,’” the officer quoted the teacher as saying.
“The school’s disciplinary committee has investigated the matter and on its recommendation the services of the teacher have been terminated,” school principal SB Tripathi said. The school authorities also approached police with a complaint and demanded that an FIR be lodged against the teacher.
“We request that strict action must be taken against the teacher and an FIR be lodged,” Tripathi added. Police have confirmed that they received a complaint on Monday from the school authorities. “A police team has gone to meet the victim and will be speaking to her along with the counsellors,” a senior police officer said.
