Police Suspended After Teacher Assaulted by Mob

A teacher named Jagadeesh was accused of sexually harassing girl students in Savanur.

On December 10, angry parents and locals beat him up, put slippers around his neck, and paraded him through the streets before handing him to the police.

The police did not stop the mob, so the police inspector and a head constable were suspended for not doing their jobs.

People are upset because they think the police should have protected the teacher and handled the situation legally, not let the mob hurt him.

The teacher now faces charges, and there is a debate about whether the mob's actions were justified or if the police failed to do their job properly.
