When the school opened on Tuesday, Students Federation of India (SFI) activists staged a protest before the DEO office demanding the State government to cancel recognition of the school for lacking monitoring of such teachers. The students also alleged that the management of the school had allowed the teacher to continue though he had a bad conduct record.

The police said the teacher used to misbehave with the student in the classroom too. A POCSO case was registered against him.
