A teacher from a Nalla Sopara school has
been arrested for forcing his students to watch video clips of him
having sex with other students, and for filming some of the students on
the phone. The accused, Sulaiman Shaikh,
has been booked under Indian Penal Code sections 354 (molestation) and
509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of women),
after at least four Std 10 students complained that Shaikh would
repeatedly harass them.
According to the complaint, Shaikh, 35, would summon the girls and
show them video clips of him having sex with other students. “He would
tell the girls that he had ensured that the students who had sex with
him cleared their preliminary exams, and those not willing to fall in
line would be failed,” the complaint said.The complaint further said that he would force the girls to pose, while he filmed them. One of the students’ father told police that his daughter had stopped going to school out of fear. “He has been harassing my daughter for the past few months. She told us that he forced her to see the obscene video clips, and threatened to harm her if she didn’t fall in line,” the girl’s father said in his complaint.
An officer from Nalla Sopara Police Station said the teacher’s mobile phone has been seized. “The teacher has been employed at the school for more than five years, and resides in Nalla Sopara with his family. We are investigating the matter,” the officer said.
The matter came to light after the parents approached a local Shiv Sena leader, Shrish Chavan, who confronted the teacher and later took him to police station.
