Yavatmal: The Secretary of the Jawaharlal Darda Education Society Kishor Darda was on Monday arrested in connection with a case of molestation of six students in Yavatmal.
The arrest of Darda, the Secretary of the education society that runs Yavatmal Public School, comes after violent protests were held by parents of a few girl students against the alleged molestation of their wards by two teachers - Yash Borundia and Amol Shirsagar. The two teachers were arrested four days ago in the case.
The protesting parents were demanding that Darda, the Chairman of the school's management committee, be also arrested on the charge of "negligence" on the part of authorities.
A case was registered against the members of the management committee under Section 21 (failure to report an offence against children) of POCSO Act.
The school's principal was held two days ago and Darda was arrested early on Monday morning in Nagpur.
