Shital Avchar, a lady teacher in the Government Deaf and Dumb School,
has been suspended with immediate effect after she was caught on camera
forcing a physically handicapped student to massage her legs. She has
also been charged with sleeping in the class during school hours and
harassing the students.
These incidents came to fore after a
sting operation by one of the students, who made a hole in his notebook
to hide a mobile and record video clips in the classroom.
Zilla parishad chief executive officer (CEO) ordered an enquiry in
which the lady teacher was found prima facie guilty. The CEO recommended
her suspension to the commissioner (physically handicapped), Pune, who
suspended her from service immediately.
Meanwhile, some human rights organizations here have demanded her immediate dismissal from service too.
An enquiry was also conducted against Pralhad Lane, superintendent of the school, and he was also found to be negligent. The commissioner has suspended him too with immediate effect on Monday.
The physically handicapped students told the press that they were beaten up on complaining against the lady teacher, who harassed them on several occasions and regularly asked students to massage her legs.
