Vikarabad, February 8: In a horrifying incident, at least six girl students of a government school in Dharur town have accused their Telugu language teacher of sexual harassment and forcing them to watch porn during class hours on his mobile phone. The 59-year-old accused allegedly took minor students from classes four and six to the classroom during break and forced himself on them. After months on the run, the accused was finally arrested in Vikarabad on Friday following a police manhunt.

According to a Times of India report, the students initially remained silent out of fear, but the matter came to light when one of the victims confided in her parents. Following this, a formal complaint was lodged against the teacher in December 2024, leading to a police case. Investigators revealed that the accused had been engaging in such acts for months, targeting students during class breaks when fewer people were around. Telangana Shocker: Man Falls to Death While Flying Kite During Sankranti 2025 in Rangareddy.
