“If these allegations are true, then it is extremely shameful and reprehensible.

Strict action should be taken against the culprits, so that the safety of daughters can be ensured,” a user wrote on X. The safety of women is crucial.

Another user wrote, “A person with such a bad and cruel mentality has no right to remain a teacher. The department and administration should tell the public what action they have taken in this matter till now, because such an act can spoil the school as well as the society, so that our young generation does not have a negative attitude towards education.” Rajneesh Kumar’s crime is inexcusable.
