In Kanataka’s Rantavalalu village, located in the Madhugiri taluk of Tumkur district, a group of parents staged a protest inside a school today, November 28, demanding action against a teacher who has allegedly misbehaved with female students. The accused teacher is known to be Lakshmikanth.
The parents claimed that Lakshmikanth came to the school in an inebriated state and misbehaved with the girls.
