Allegedly, a school teacher belonging to the Hamirpur District in Uttar Pradesh sent coarse messages to a Grade 9 student. The school teacher ‘fell in love’ with the young-girl. He has been accused of attempting at developing physical relationship with the student. This case happened on January 7. The student took screenshots of the WhatsApp Messages and immediately informed her family members about the same. The school-teacher has been identified as Rohit Kumar Lodhi. The family asked the accused to come over to their home but he never showed up. Instead, he began threatening the family.
The victim then proceeded to file a written-complaint with the Police. According to the report, the school-teacher tricked her by giving her more marks than she deserved. He then began messaging her and asking her to meet him at the school, alone. The teacher has been since called in for a Police-Interrogation. The School-Teacher has threatened friends of the young-girl. Police Investigation is ongoing. Ana educator is supposed to mentor a child yet we come across such disgusting cases where a teacher is making a student feel uncomfortable and unsafe. The teacher’s certification and license should be cancelled and he should be immediately suspended from the school.
The young-girl chose to communicate and share the incident with her family which helped her save herself and other possible students from being victimised by the accused. It is essential to provide the youth with a safe and healthy environment to nurture their personality and inculcate quality skills in them. This experience will probably make the student fear her teachers and wonder if their good or bad behaviour towards her is discriminated or not. How low can someone stoop? Is there no professionalism? Can teachers not protect students? Are children safe at schools or is Home-Schooling the only way to shelter them from the cruel reality of the world.
