On Monday, students from a government higher secondary school in Misrod, Bhopal, initiated a four-hour protest against a science teacher accused of harassment. According to the students, the teacher allegedly threatened to fail them, assign them household and school chores, demanded money for passing, and physically assaulted them with a pipe.
The unrest culminated when district education officer Abhinav Arya ordered the transfer of the teacher, Kushwah, to Bagroda Higher Secondary School, while the school assigned Renuka Shrivastava, a teacher from Bagroda, to Misrod. The students had previously lodged a formal complaint with the principal on October 3, alleging that the teacher demanded Rs 2,500 monthly from them under the guise of project work and imposed additional demands on the pretext of science stream selection.
An audio recording purportedly captured a conversation between a student and the teacher, allegedly discussing student performance, parental communication, and expenses, including costs associated with a private examination form.
