Yet another case of sexual harassment by school teacher has come to light after five students wrote a letter to school authorities about alleged abuse. The girls belonging to class six and seven wrote a letter and dropped it in the complaint box in the school.
 

The students of a government school in Badiadka, Kasargod, dropped their letter in the complaint box in the school. On finding the letter, school headmaster contacted Childline, a round-the-clock helpline for children in distress.
