Dehradun School Principal Arrested in POCSO Case
A school principal in Dehradun was arrested because a 15-year-old boy said the principal did bad things to him.
The boy's family noticed he was acting differently and asked him what was wrong.
The boy then told them about the principal's behavior.
The police arrested the principal because what he did is against the law, especially when it involves children.
The principal of a private school in Dehradun's Premnagar area was arrested for alleged obscene acts and sodomy with a minor student.
The boy's father filed a complaint after noticing the boy's behavior changes and subsequent revelation of the alleged misconduct.
A case was registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The principal was arrested on Tuesday following the complaint.
The boy's family noticed he had become withdrawn and aloof, leading to the revelation of the alleged misconduct.
