The Sarai Inayat police lodged an FIR against a teacher of a primary school for allegedly molesting a girl of Class 2.
Enraged over the incident, villagers locked the school and surrounded the police station for several hours. Following the protest, police registered an FIR against the accused teacher under POCSO Act, molestation, harassment and other sections of the IPC.
