It is said that the accused used to sending obscene messages to a Class 9 girl through Facebook and WhatsApp. Besides, he is said to have lured her to accompany him ice-cream parlours, movie-halls and malls. He also allegedly sexually harassed her many a times.

The issue came to light only after one of the friends of the girl narrated the story to the headmistress. When the headmistress discussed the issue with girl students, many of them reportedly complained against the sadistic behaviour of Mohan Rai.

Later the headmistress brought the issue to the notice of the school governing council, which decided to suspend the teacher from service.

Enraged over the development Mohan Rai barged into the chamber of headmistress and threatened to murder her, sources said.

Based on the girl's complaint a case has been registered at Mangaluru Rural Police Station against Mohan Rai under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Another case has been registered against him for issuing murder threat.

Meanwhile, a special team is looking for the accused, who went absconding after the two complaints were registered against him.

Seems like a Sanghi Goon..!

Parents must encourage their children (especially girls) to speak up on anything and everything. Such wolves in the society continue to prey on the innocents as long as their victims do not speak up. Such wolves hiding in sheep's clothing should not be given anything less than a death penalty.

All over the world it is happening...every country faces this.

Hang him!!
