The director and principal of a private school where a six-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a teacher early this week were arrested on Saturday, an IANS report stated.
‘We have taken into custody Indirangar Cambridge School director Pramod Arya and its principal Vijayanthi under sections 188 and 336 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for failing to comply with our safety guidelines meant to protect wards in schools,’ additional commissioner of police Alok Kumar told IANS here.
A special team, set up to investigate the criminal case registered against the accused teacher Jaishankar, will also interrogate Arya and Vijayanthi for more information on the teacher whose conduct and behaviour towards girl students was suspect.
A local court Friday remanded Jaishankar to seven-day police custody a day after he was arrested under sections 4 and 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 and section 376 of the IPC on a complaint by the victim’s parents.
