The Pudukottai All Women Police arrested a private school teacher D. Shanmuganathan (48) against whom a case under the POCSO Act was booked for alleged sexual harassment of a Plus One girl student recently.
Police sources said Shanmuganathan was produced before the Mahila Court here on Thursday and sent for judicial remand. He was later lodged in the sub jail at Tirumayam. The All Women Police at Pudukottai had registered the case under sections 11 (i), 11 (iv) read with 12 of the POCSO Act against Shanmuganathan on Wednesday on a complaint preferred by an official of the District Child Protection Unit.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
