Two heinous cases of teachers sexually assaulting their minor female students have come to light from Uttar Pradesh. In Meerut, a headmaster named Jamal Kamil (50) has been arrested for molesting a minor Dalit girl inside a government school. The victim is an 11-year-old girl currently studying in Class 4th. The incident took place on Friday (23rd August). The locals caught hold of the accused headmaster and thrashed him before handing him over to the Police. Meanwhile, in Rampur, a tuition teacher named Syed Wasik Ali has been arrested on charges of sexually abusing a seven-year-old girl.
According to reports, the first incident took place in the Mawana police station area of Meerut. A woman hailing from the Scheduled Caste community lodged a complaint with the Police. In her complaint, she said that her daughter studies in class 4th in a government school which falls in this Police station area. A 50-year-old man named Jamal Kamil is the headmaster of this school.
On Friday, Principal Jamal Kamil was inspecting the nails of the students. He was also trimming the nails of students who had long fingernails. When the victim’s turn came, Kamil saw her nails and called her to his office where he made the girl sit on a chair. Subsequently, he started cutting her nails.
According to the complaint, while cutting her nails, the accused Principal Jamal Kamil lifted the dress of the minor girl and started doing obscene acts. The victim got scared and somehow she managed to free her hands and ran out of his office crying.
