A government school teacher in Tirunelveli district has been suspended after several female students lodged a sexual harassment complaint with the District Collector.
The accused, Guru Vinayagam, a 52-year-old English teacher at Tharuvai Government High School, located near Munneerpallam, was reportedly accused of using inappropriate language and engaging in sexually inappropriate behavior towards girl students.
Following the complaint, District Principal Education Officer Sivakumar conducted an inquiry into the matter. Based on the findings, he issued an order placing Guru Vinayagam under suspension pending further action.
Responding to the allegations, Guru Vinayagam claimed the complaint was motivated by retaliation. He stated, “This accusation was made out of revenge because I questioned the headmistress regarding the collection of money from girl students.”
Further investigation into the matter is expected as authorities review the case.
