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.
