Pune: A special court on Sunday remanded the dance teacher of a school in Karvenagar to judicial custody for 14 days. The teacher was arrested on the charge of sexually abusing four minor students. He was produced before the court on Sunday after his initial police custody remand came to an end.
The teacher (39) was arrested on Dec 17, after the alleged sexual assault incident came to light during a good touch, bad touch counselling session organised by the school. Initially, two boys narrated their ordeal to the counsellor, who reported the matter to the school authorities and the boys' parents were informed. After the arrest of the dance teacher, parents of other students spoke with their children.
During the process, two more students informed their parents about an alleged sexual assault by the same teacher. Senior inspector Manoj Shedge told TOI that the dance teacher was produced before the special court on Sunday. "He was remanded to 14 days of judicial custody," he added.
