A GOVERNMENT school principal and a teacher posted in Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh were on Tuesday dismissed from service after purported “objectionable” videos of them surfaced on social media.
A police team on Monday (20) visited the school in Gangrar area to investigate the matter after the two teachers were suspended on Saturday following the incident.
Following the investigation, the District Education Officer issued orders to dismiss the principal and teacher.
In the preliminary investigation report and in-depth study and analysis of the records in the case, the accused were found to be involved in sexual misconduct in the school, according to the order issued.
The order said that both the teachers are dismissed from the state service under Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules.
Chittorgarh District Education Officer (Elementary) Rajendra Sharma said he received an e-mail containing the videos showing the teachers inside the principal’s room.
A committee headed by the joint director of the education department conducted an inquiry at the school, he added.
The videos were recorded by a hidden camera placed near the roof of the headmaster’s room, Sharma said.
“It is not clear who placed the hidden camera there,” he said, adding that the school has a total of nine teachers, including seven women. (PTI)
