The accused is Basavraj H Kandari hailing from Gadag. The police arrested him after several girl students, their parents, alumni of the school and leaders of various social organisations demanded action against him.
It is learnt that Basavraj used to pass vulgar comments on girls and touch their body inappropriately in the school.
Earlier, the same teacher had been suspended for indecent behaviour with girl students at the Gottempadi School in Mangaluru, the sources said.
Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.
The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.
A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.
During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.
On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

He deserves punishment
shameless teacher (cheater). he can't learn from his own history (gottempadi case)
He is Not Just Basavaraj...He is Bori Basava....Must be punished
All students should not hide such cases... They should complain to parents or elders who they can trust, when they face such criminal activity, who deceive and show their innocent faces to public.
