Jalpaiguri Feb
28: Guardians of two class V girl students of a government school have lodged a
complaint with Kotwali police station here alleging that their daughters were
molested by one Tarapada Lohar, a group D employee of the school on February
25.
According to the
complaint the incident occurred at Jalpaiguri Government Girl’s High School and
the parents also complained that their complaint on the matter with the school
went unheard. The accused Lohar is untraceable after the complain was filed.
On February 25
after the school was over the two girls were playing in the school ground while
waiting for their guardians to take them home. Taking the opportunity of the
situation, Lohar forcefully molested the girls and allegedly forced the girl to
touch his private parts.
Horrified with
the act, the duo ran towards the school gate where they saw their parents
coming towards the school. Later on reaching the school, the girls recounted
the incidents with their parents.
The very next day
the guardians complained about the incident to the Head Mistress of the school
Madhabi Talukdar. The guardians alleged that the head mistress took the matter
lightly and instead tried to convince them by asking them not to take any step
against the employee.
Talukdar on
Thursday however refuted such allegations. “I did not try to save the accused.
There is no question of me standing beside Lohar. If he is guilty he will be
punished,” said Talukdar.
The guardians
however want transfer of the employee. “How can I send my ward to the school
unless the culprit is not removed,” said one of the guardians. The police have
started a massive drive to nab the accused.
The District
Magistrate however has assured that legal steps would be taken against the
accused.
