A 31-year-old physics teacher has been arrested in Coimbatore after the death by suicide of a Class 12 student who he allegedly sexually assaulted earlier this year.
There was public outcry in the city after WhatsApp chats and an audio conversation that NDTV could not independently verify, went viral suggesting sexual abuse of two other girls by the same teacher.
The police are also examining a handwritten note that points to the involvement of two others. Speaking to NDTV, a senior officer said, "The sexual assault appears to have taken place in the first half of this year".
The police have also arrested the headmistress of the private school for not acting on the girl's complaint, under the law to prevent sexual offences against children.
