Rajasthan schoolgirls blacken principal's face with ink over molestation charges

Police said a case of molestation will be registered against the accused under relevant sections

Girl students at a government school in Rajasthan's Ajmer district protested on Monday (August 17, 2026) against their principal, Sushil Kumar Rinwa, by blackening his face with ink. The girls alleged that Rinwa had molested them. Police arrived at the scene, detained Rinwa, and registered a molestation case against him under relevant sections.

The Ajmer Chief District Education Officer forwarded a report on the incident to senior officers for action against Rinwa. The school teacher in Kekdi last week faced a similar suspension after facing allegations of molestation.
