A government school teacher in Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla has been booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a sixth-grade student, news agency PTI quoted police as saying.

The victim’s mother in a complaint said that the accused had touched her daughter inappropriately, which caused her to feel reluctant to attend school.

She claimed that she learnt about the incident from her other daughter and reported it to the police.

After the allegations, several women staged a protest, demanding stringent action against the accused.

A case under section 74 (assault or use of criminal force against a woman) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered.

Further investigation into the matter is underway.
