Ara : Anita Devi, mother of a school going daughter of Nawada area,  Ara, has sought protection from Bhojpur district administration against a government school teacher Praveen Priyadarshi alleging the latter keeps threatening her with dire consequence if she did not withdraw her complaint against him.

Anita Devi’s daughter is  student of  class VIII at Government Adarsh Middle School located at K G Road under Nawada police station. In 2015, she complained, when her daughter was in Class VI, a teacher of the school Praveen Priyadarshi called her one day in a room on the pretext of sweeping the room where he tried to outrage her modesty in a room of the school. When she objected to it, he threatened her with dire consequence. After reaching home, the girl narrated her woes to her mother.

Anita Devi went to the school next day and talked to Praveen Priyadarshi but he threatened her too. Anita Devi lodged complain against Praveen Priyadarshi to the Bhojpur DM, SP, and District Education Officer (DEO).

The DM took action and directed the DEO to inquire into the matter. After the DEO submitted his report, the DM ordered for suspension of Praveen Priyadarshi and transferred him to Yashoda Arya Girl School at Ramgarhia under Town police station, Ara,  in  2016 after his suspension was revoked. But still Praveen Priyadarashi, alleged Anita Devi, is frequently visiting her house and forcing her to withdraw her complaint against him and threatens her and her daughter with dire consequences if she failed to do so. Anita is a poor woman whose husband has deserted her, said sources.
