A departmental probe in Dumraon, Buxar district, led to the termination of two government teachers accused of molesting female students, circulating an obscene video and issuing threats.
A departmental inquiry in Dumraon, a town in Bihar's Buxar district, concluded that two government school teachers had engaged in sexual misconduct with female students. The investigation uncovered allegations that the teachers not only molested the students but also recorded and circulated an obscene video and issued threats to silence them.
Following the probe, the education department formally terminated the employment of both teachers, citing violation of conduct rules and criminal behavior. The dismissal was announced by district officials, who emphasized that such actions are intolerable in the education system.
The case has drawn attention to the need for stricter safeguards in schools and swift action against abuse of power by educators. Authorities have urged parents and students to report any similar incidents promptly.
No criminal charges have been detailed in the release, but the dismissal underscores the department's zero‑tolerance stance on sexual harassment within schools.
The incident adds to ongoing concerns about student safety in Indian educational institutions, prompting calls for enhanced monitoring and training for staff.
