The teachers, in their complaint, stated that the secretary of the school’s management committee blackmailed them with their objectionable photographs and videos whenever they asked for the payment of their salaries which were pending for months. Based on the complaint, police, on Wednesday, registered an FIR against the secretary and his son under sections 504 (intentional insult), 354 (a) (sexual harassment) and 354 (c) (voyeurism) of the Indian Penal Code.

 

Meanwhile, the secretary has denied the charges of sexual harassment levelled against him. “There is no CCTV inside the women’s toilet. But they have been installed in the gents’ toilets. This was done against the backdrop of recent cases of murder inside some schools', said the secretary to a source.

 

The secretary, however, admitted that for the past few months, the school has failed to pay salaries to the teachers due to the ongoing pandemic situation.
