A shocking discovery of over 5,000 nude scenes on the mobile phone of Muniyappa, an art teacher at Morarji Desai Residential School in Malur Taluk, Kolar, has sparked concern among parents. The teacher was suspended in December 2023 for an unrelated incident and was transferred to another school in June 2024. However, the latest revelation has led to a flurry of anxious inquiries from parents, fearing their children may be involved.
The school’s new principal has downplayed the incident, stating that the accused teacher is no longer employed at the school and that there are no current issues. Meanwhile, the police investigation is ongoing, with the seized mobile phone sent for forensic examination. The Joint Director of the Social Welfare Department has clarified that the suspension was lifted and the teacher was transferred, but the latest allegations are still unclear.
The incident has raised questions about the safety and supervision of children in residential schools and the need for stricter measures to prevent such incidents. The police are awaiting the FSL report to proceed with the case.
