COIMBATORE: Four class 8 students at Perumalpudur panchayat union middle school near Madathukulam in Tirupur district, were arrested on Monday evening for misbehaving with a class 6 girl last Friday.
Police said the four students aged about 13, hailing from Perumalpudur were playing at the school campus on October 12. Around 3.45 pm, a 12-year-old girl of the same school had gone to her classroom to pick up her school bag. When she came out of the classroom, there were injuries all over her body and her dress was torn.
She was crying and approached the school head master M Martin Kirubanandhan (52) and lodged a complaint that four students from class VIII assaulted her and tore her dress.
Immediately Martin conducted an enquiry with the students who apologized to the victim. "The culprits apologized to the victim and the matter was settled amicably. However, relatives of the girl conducted a protest on the school campus," said Martin.
On Monday morning as many as 200 persons gathered inside the school campus and conducted a protest. They demanded action against the four students who misbehaved with the girl. The Komaralingam police tried to pacify the victim's family. But the relatives insisted that the headmaster file a complaint in this matter.
Based on their demand, headmaster Martin lodged a complaint with Komaralingam police station on Monday evening and the police registered a case against the four minor students under section 354(assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 506 (i) (criminal intimidation) of IPC.
