Investigations confirmed the teacher’s vulgar advances toward six Class 8 girls, with police indicating the possibility of more victims.The accused teacher, Govardhan Gondane, has been serving at the school for many years. City police received information about Gondane’s alleged misconduct with students in his class. SP Mummakka Sudarshan, recognizing seriousness of the allegations, directed a discreet probe. A woman officer visited the school undercover for initial inquiries. Upon finding evidence, the Women and Child Development Department interviewed the school girls and six of them detailed the teacher’s vulgar actions.According to victims’ statements, he leered at girls during lessons, inappropriately touched them under the guise of encouragement, placed hands on their thighs, and summoned individual students to the computer lab for lewd acts.Authorities suspect he may have targeted other students over the years due to his long association with the institution. Gondane was produced in court on Friday and sent him to two-day police custody. On Saturday, the court remanded him to judicial custody.
