AP State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (APSCPCR) Chairman Kesali Appa Rao has directed the Education Department officials to conduct an inquiry into the alleged misbehaviour of a Class IX student in the classroom in a government school, at Penuganchiprolu mandal in NTR District.
It was alleged the student shot a video of a lady teacher teaching in the classroom, made an inappropriate video with it and uploaded it on social media. The boy had reportedly sent the video to his friends, which went viral.
The Commission Chairman, who spoke with the NTR District Education Officer (DEO), C.V. Renuka, directed the concerned officials to submit a report on the incident. Commission Member J. Rajendra Prasad will visit the school and inquire into the incident, Mr. Appa Rao said.
The DEO said an inquiry had been ordered into the alleged indecent. Counselling would be given to the student and his parents, she said.
