Police arrested the headmaster of Madhupada Government School in Gantyada mandal of Vizianagaram district on charges of sexually assaulting the mother of one of his students. According to reports, the mother had visited the school headmaster Srinivasa Rao on Thursday to rectify errors in her son's school certificates. He suggested to her that they travel together to Srungavarapukota to resolve the issues directly with the relevant authorities.
