Bathinda Teacher arrested for bid to molest student

BATHINDA: The head teacher-cum-incharge of Saint Soldier Convent School, Bathinda, was arrested on Saturday from Bhagatuana village after his lecherous plot to molest a 14-year-old student went awry due to the girl’s quick thinking.



The police apprehended Karamjit Singh, said HS Parmar, DSP (city) Bathinda. According to the FIR registered , the accused took three students of his school to another institute in Paras Ram locality of Bathinda on Saturday afternoon on the pretext of conducting practical examinations.

After the tests, he reportedly asked two of the students - one of them his daughter - to head for school and asked the third, a student of class 8, to accompany him. Karamjit took her to a house in nearby Bhagtuana village. He detained her in a room, handcuffed her and put a tape on her mouth. The girl somehow managed to escape, using a rear exit.
