The services of the teacher of an Andheri school, who was accused of molesting students, were terminated by the management. The order issued on Monday has provided a sense of relief to the complainants, as well as the principal, who has been fighting for justice for over five years now. The accused, found guilty of sexually harassing students, was sentenced to three years rigorous imprisonment by a Special POCSO court on August 13.

But he was out on bail and had resumed duty on August 18. The school management on Monday issued the termination order of the teacher. The principal, whose services were terminated for taking the issue to higher authorities, has expressed satisfaction with the move.
