The police have arrested a physical education teacher and an administrative officer of a private school in Coimbatore on charges of molesting at least five girl students.
The police said that physical education teacher A. Murali (34) of Karamadai, and administrative officer S. Vijayakumar (34) of Ganapathy, who worked in a school near Ganapathy, were arrested after a group of victims sought the help by dialling the Childline - 1098.
The girls complained to the Childline that the duo had been molesting them for the past few months. They alleged that the teacher touched them with wrong intentions while taking part in games and gave punishments to those who resisted.
