Coimbatore: A Coimbatore private school principal has been charged with sexually assaulting a student, police said.
A 17-year-old student from Coimbatore district received a transfer certificate from a private school six months ago. The student committed suicide by hanging himself from a fan in his living room on Thursday evening as his parents tried to enroll him in another school. The student’s father had lodged a complaint at the All Women’s Police Station alleging that Mithun Chakraborty, a teacher at the school where he was studying, had sexually harassed the student and that Tappave had left the school to escape from him, although his daughter had committed suicide due to continued harassment.
Following this, the police filed a case against teacher Mithun Chakraborty under two sections of incitement to suicide and sexual harassment under the Pokcho Act. Following this, the teacher Mithun Chakraborty was arrested by the police and taken to the Coimbatore Government Hospital for a physical examination. They were then produced before a judge and remanded in custody.
