The Ayanavaram police have filed an FIR on a complaint from Scripture Union against two suspended staff for sending inappropriate text messages to school girls.

J. Joshua Kirubaraj, national director, Scripture Union & Children Special Service Mission Council of India, lodged a complaint with the Police Commissioner last week. The organisation is actively involved in teaching children about biblical values and principles in schools.

The complainant said on August 4, they had received an oral complaint from a girl and her father from Vellore about inappropriate text messages that one of their field staff, Samuel Jaisunder, had allegedly sent her.
