Two government school teachers in Buxar have been suspended following allegations of exploiting schoolgirls for several months. Officials reported on Thursday that the teachers also circulated related videos on social media, prompting the swift action against them. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and welfare of students in the region.
District education officer (DEO) of Buxar Indrajit Kumar Karn said the initial probe confirmed the allegation of videos being uploaded on social media. The two teachers from the Dumaron government school were suspended following a preliminary probe by the state education department. Despite the complaint and the twin suspensions, local police have not yet registered an FIR, saying a team is probing the allegations. The case involves students from a government school in Dumaron where several girl students were sexually exploited for months by the two teachers. They then uploaded the videos on social media.
A police officer, who asked not to be named, said a three-member team comprising two DSPs and an inspector, have been sent to the school to investigate the allegations. Additional director general, weaker section (CID), K S Anupam said that the three-member team including two women officers have been dispatched to conduct a probe. “I have been informed by the Buxar SP that three girls came before the police to register a complaint against the suspended teachers,” said Anupam, adding that she has directed the SP to record their statements before the judicial magistrate and conduct medical examination of the victims. Top police officers said an FIR would be lodged soon once the preliminary investigation was completed.
