A sports teacher was arrested for deliberately touching the body parts of female students under the guise of training. Prabhakaran, a native of Valpara, who is a sports teacher at Sugunapuram East Government High School in Coimbatore city, was arrested. He was arrested after the parents besieged the school after the children brought home the teacher’s misbehavior.

A week ago, Prabhakaran took over as the Sugunapuram school sports teacher. The students complained that from the very next day he started touching the body parts of the girls under the guise of training. Unable to tolerate the misbehavior, the children informed the head teacher. Instead of taking action, the teacher consoled the children and sent them back. With this, the children informed the house. Yesterday morning parents came to the school in protest.

The DCP of Coimbatore reached the spot and held a discussion, but the parents were not ready to leave. The RDO reached the spot after the parents reiterated that they would not end the boycott without taking action against the sports teacher and the headmistress.

He assured that the matter has been brought to the attention of the Collector and action will be taken. Later Prabhakaran was taken into police custody. Arrested under POCSO sections. He was suspended from service by the Education Department. With this, the parents ended the blockade.
