Puttur, Aug 31: Local residents allegedly thrashed a teacher and confined him to a classroom at a government high school near Eshwaramangala in Puttur taluk of Dakshina Kannada for sending obscene messages to one of his students.

The accused, Manjunath, who teaches English, was later arrested by the police and booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The police said that the accused had been trying to get closer to a Class 10 girl student. When he demanded her mobile number, she deliberately gave her grandfather’s number. Since then he was sending lewd messages at night.

Recently, the girl’s father happened to see the content sent by the teacher. The furious father brought the incident to the notice of the villagers who in turn arrived at the school in order to teach the teacher a lesson.

Police said the villagers confined Manjunath to a classroom on Wednesday. Apprised of the situation, the police arrived at the school premises. Though Manjunath tried to shrug off the allegation and claimed innocence, the police said there was enough evidence against him.
