Days after a school teacher attached to Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan (PSBB) School in Chennai was arrested for sexually harassing the students, the Chennai police had booked two more teachers in similar sexual assault cases that came to light after some of the students took to social media and accused them of sexual harassment. The shocking story has come when Chennai schools are witnessing a rise of the #MeToo movement.

Ever since the grounds of sexual harassment in PSBB School had come to the revelation, several former and current students of other eminent institutions are bringing out the awful behaviours of the teachers. According to reports, the two teachers who were booked by the Chennai police include J Anand, a teacher in Maharishi Vidya Mandir in Chetpet, Chennai, and P Nagarajan, a sports coach in the city.

Several students had put out the sexual allegations against both of them on social media post which the police had swung into action and booked them under appropriate sections. After learning that Anand is accused of sexual harassment, Maharishi Vidya Mandir has suspended him from the school and the management has said it will refer the complaints against him to the school's Internal Committee for an investigation into the matter. 

Sports coach Nagarajan, who is also a superintendent in the GST Commissionerate in Chennai, was accused by an athlete of awfully touching her while helping in physiotherapy. The reports say that when Nagarajan learned that he was booked by the police in a sexual harassment case, he reportedly attempted to commit suicide by consuming sleeping pills and he has now been admitted to Royapettah Government Hospital in Chennai for treatments. 

According to reports, the all-women police in Chennai had contacted the women who levelled allegations against Anand and Nagarajan, and the officials had recorded their statements for further investigation. On Friday, Deputy Commissioner of Crimes Against Women and Children (CAWC) H Jayalakshmi, who has been assigned to probe the case against PSBB's Rajagopalan and others, had given her number 9444772222 and asked the affected students to file a complaint against the harassers. 

The department has asserted that the complaints received will be kept confidential. The reports say that ever since the number was shared, the CAWC team has been piled up with sexual harassment complaints against many teachers and the team has been looking into every case. On Friday, the team probing the case against PSBB teacher Rajagopalan has received two more complaints against him. Rajagopalan has been booked under POCSO Act and has been remanded under judicial custody in Puzhal Central Prison, Chennai. 

The police department said that if complaints pile up against Rajagopalan, a case under Goondas Act will be invoked against him. On Friday, Chennai Police Commissioner Shankar Jiwal told the reporters that the cybercrime wing is closely monitoring the sexual harassment complaints poured against the school teachers in Chennai. It must be noted that recently, the alumni of Thanjavur's Sastra Univesity had also revealed that the students had faced sexual harassment from the professors and staff members.
