Vedasandur District Educational Officer Karuppasamy, on Tuesday, conducted an enquiry into the complaint of a teacher having asked a student to give him a “massage” at a government higher secondary school in Edayakottai near Oddanchatram.
The issue came to light after a short video clipping showing a student “massaging” the head of a teacher went viral on the social media. It is said that another teacher had videographed the incident with his mobile phone.
The DEO, who had been to the school on Monday, to pacify agitated parents and other villagers, continued his inquiry with the teachers and students on Tuesday.
“The inquiry is going on. It looks like the video relates to an incident that had occurred this year. The students also complained about another teacher who was not very regular to class. The report would be submitted to the Chief Educational Officer, Dindigul, for further action,” he said.
