In a shocking incident, children of a private pre and primary school in Jammu were reportedly molested by 3 teachers of the school.

The family of one of the victims lodged a complaint in Trikuta Nagar police station. The incident came to light when one of the children refused to go to school. When enquired, the child told her family about this shocking assault story.

While Principal of School told MyNation," We have discontinued services of the 3 teachers against whom we have received a complaint on August 2". She further said," We have fully CCTV protected school campus, we have 19 teachers and our staff is well disciplined and treat every child as their own".

The three teachers who were allegedly involved in molestation taught singing, karate and dance. They were allegedly exploiting minor girls during their fifteen minutes lectures taken twice a week.

The police have lodged an FIR No. 210/2018 under Section 354 against the accused teachers. Two have been arrested. Police's search for the third accused is on.
