Unable to take the punishments and torture, the students complained about the teacher to their parents. They also refused to go to the school fearing punishment and ill-treatment by him.

The parents in turn approached the Chikkanayakanahalli police which lodged a case against the accused under the provision of POCSO Act.

An investigation is underway.

Further details are yet to emerge regarding the incident.
