Tiruvannamalai: The Pollachi sexual abuse sent shivers down everyone’s spine, even as the case is proceeding, another shocking case of a teacher sexually abusing her students has come to the fore.
A 30-year-old teacher, Nithya has been arrested after her husband, Umesh Kumar, filed a complaint against her, with the proof of her sexually abusing some of her students.
