Furious mob gathered in front of a private school in JJ Nagar in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 7, following a complaint of sexual assault on a seven-year-old girl by a Physical Education teacher and beat up the accused while the Police tried to take him away.
The mob, breaching police security, dragged the teacher and beat him up, before ransacking the school and setting a few vehicles on fire. A police vehicle was also gutted along with several two wheelers.
Additional platoons rushed to the spot and resorted to ‘lathi charge’ and lobbed tear gas to disperse the mob indulged in arson. Several persons including police personnel were injured in the incident.
