The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in an official statement issued on Thursday ordered the immediate transfer of the principal of MCD Primary School (Co-ed) Kishan Garh, after teachers accused him of sending “obscene” messages and subjecting them to “mental and sexual harassment”.
The action came a day after councillor Jagmohan Mehlawat raised the matter during a Standing Committee meeting of the civic body, criticising the lack of action despite a complaint being submitted to the MCD nearly a month ago.
Standing Committee chairperson Satya Sharma said the case “requires strict handling” and insisted that the principal be transferred until an inquiry is completed. To maintain a safe school environment, the principal should be suspended to prevent any recurrence of such incidents, she said.
About 25 teachers have accused the principal of “mental and sexual harassment” in complaints sent separately to the MCD Education Deputy Director and the Education Committee chairperson. They also attached screenshots of WhatsApp messages allegedly sent by him.
