Mangalore, Jul 21: A lecturer in a college at Vamanjoor has been accused of sexually harassing a girl student.
Accused teacher Harish
Harish, a Kannada lecturer at a private college at Vamanjoor, was allegedly troubling a PU student for the past one year.
It is alleged that Harish used to send her lewd text messages every day and whenever she walked past him in the school premises, would try to touch her. He would even make her wait alone in the campus after class hours, it is alleged.
Fed up with the constant harassment, the girl came home crying on Monday evening and after locking herself in her room, attempted to commit suicide. Her family members broke into her room and saved her on time.
On learning about the teacher's behaviour, the family of the girl approached the police and filed a complaint.
Sources said that the teacher has gone absconding.
Kankanady police are investigating further
