Moodbidire: Accused teacher arrested in alleged girl student molestation case
Moodbidire: Guruva Mogera, a teacher at Kallamundkur Government School, has been arrested by police after being on the run while facing charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for allegedly molesting female students.
Mogera, who had served as a teacher at the school for two decades, had a case registered against him at Moodbidire police station on March 14 for the alleged sexual harassment of a minor girl student. Subsequently, the case was transferred to the city's women's police station.
Despite applying for anticipatory bail in the District Sessions Court, Mogera's plea was rejected. He was eventually arrested by a joint operation involving Moodidire Police, Women's Station Police, and CCB Police and has been remanded in judicial custody.
The revelation of Mogera's actions came to light when a case of sexual harassment involving a female student was disclosed on February 28. Following a complaint filed by the school's principal on March 13 at Moodbidri police station, an investigation was initiated. Despite local allegations of police indifference, efforts were intensified, leading to Mogera's arrest.
Continuous coverage by 'Vartabharati' highlighted community concerns, prompting protests against perceived police negligence. Ultimately, the concerted efforts of multiple police teams resulted in the successful arrest of the accused teacher.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
