The Pariyaram police arrested a teacher for sending a lewd message to a minor student on mobile phone.
The accused, K C Sajeesh, is a sports teacher at the Government Higher Secondary School at Cheruthazham, who was arrested under the provisions of the Protection of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
He sent the message to the student on the mobile phone of her mother, apparently that she was using. When the message came to the notice of the family members they complained to the school principal. A complaint was lodged with the Priyaram police and subsequently the student’s statements were recorded.
The accused has been remanded. It is noteworthy that Sajeesh was assistant private secretary to the LDF convener E P Jayaraj when the latter was a minister. Sajeesh was later removed from the Minister’s staff owing to similar allegations.
