Sundargarh, Aug 29: In a shocking case from Sundargarh district, a school teacher has been accused of sexually harassing seven minor girls and has absconded after learning that the victims were proceeding with a police complaint.

According to sources, the girls initially reported the abuse to the school’s headmaster, who later filed a formal complaint with the police. It has also come to light that this was not the first time the teacher faced such allegations — earlier warnings by school authorities had failed to deter him.

Gurundia police official TP Nayak said, “The sub-inspector will record the statement. Following this, the 164 order will be issued by the Magistrate. After receiving the order, the statement will be recorded in Bonai. After all this is completed, further actions will be taken.”

Police said the accused, after coming to know about the complaint, sent a leave application to the school through another person before fleeing. A manhunt has been launched to track him down, and further investigation is underway.
