Ramgarh Headmaster Apprehended Following Student Uprising
In a shocking incident from Ramgarh district, the headmaster of a government high school was taken into custody on Wednesday night. The arrest followed serious allegations of him sexually assaulting female students within his school office.
Student Protest Forces Police Action
The arrest was precipitated by a massive demonstration outside the local police station. Hundreds of students, predominantly girls, gathered to demand immediate action. They alleged that the headmaster had molested a minor girl student. The protest revealed a pattern of abuse, with several students confessing they had been groped in the past but lacked the courage to file an official police complaint.
Formal Complaint and Legal Proceedings
The case moved forward after a formal written complaint was lodged by the victim. The officer in-charge of the local police station confirmed that the arrest was made under relevant sections of the BNSS and the POCSO Act. According to the complaint, the headmaster summoned the girl to his office where the molestation occurred. Deeply traumatized, the girl shared her harrowing experience with her parents after returning home from school. Her parents subsequently accompanied her to the police station to file the formal complaint, setting the legal process in motion.
This case has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the critical need for safe educational environments and robust systems to protect children from such predatory behavior.
