Chennai:

Three teachers of a government school in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu have been arrested for alleged sexual exploitation of a student of 13 -year -old man.

Police said that a medical examination of the survivor has been done, and the report is awaited.

The girl was absent from the classroom for a month, police said, adding the school officials and then decided to visit her home to investigate it. The matter came to light only after which the Child Welfare Committee came into action.

The officials spoke to the survivor, and based on his statement, the Child Welfare Committee filed a police complaint, which led to the arrest of the three teachers.

The protesters gathered in front of the school and raised slogans. The Education Department said that the three teachers have been suspended.

It is the same district in Tamil Nadu where a girl was sexually assaulted at a fake National Cadet Corps (NCC) camp last year, and more than a dozen girls were sexually abused.

In another incident in Chennai yesterday, an 18 -year -old girl was dragged into an autorickshaw and sexually assaulted in the moving vehicle.

The opposition BJP has alleged that there is a free movement of drugs and narcotics across the state, and the number of arrested people is declining.
