Mumbai, August 8: Two Class 12 students from a reputed school and junior college in Naigaon in Palghar were booked for allegedly morphing a photograph of their 29-year-old female teacher with pornographic content and sharing it on social media. The teacher, a long-time faculty member of the institution and a resident of Naigaon West in Palghar, was reportedly photographed during a college event where she was anchoring, which was later morphed and circulated.

According to the Mid-Day report, one of the students allegedly clicked a photo of the teacher during the event and later superimposed her face onto explicit images. The morphed image was then shared with his classmate, who uploaded it to Instagram. The obscene image quickly spread among the others and eventually reached the victim and her family, which caused her immense distress. Palghar Shocker: School Watchman Held for Alleged Sexual Abuse of 2 Boys in Maharashtra.
