Chittorgarh – A shocking incident has surfaced from the Government Senior Secondary School in Salera, Ajolia Kheda Gram Panchayat of Gangrar block, where the sanctity of an educational institution was tarnished.
Explicit videos featuring the school’s headmaster and a female teacher engaging in indecent acts within the school premises were leaked, prompting the education department to take swift action. Both individuals have been suspended with immediate effect, and an investigation has been launched.
The headmaster, Arvind Vyas, is married and resides in Gangrar. The accused female teacher, also married, is a resident of a nearby area. Her husband works in a local factory.
Multiple CCTV recordings revealed Vyas, and the female teacher in compromising positions. In the footage, both were seen engaging in inappropriate activities in various corners of the office, donning different outfits yet displaying similar behavior.
On occasions, their acts were interrupted by the presence of another female teacher, but they resumed once she left the office.
The incident, which first came to light through these videos, has deeply angered local villagers, who are now demanding strict punitive action.
The School Management Committee had previously warned the headmaster about his behavior, but he allegedly threatened to file complaints against them for obstructing his duties.
According to sources, students had informed their parents about the headmaster and teacher’s indecent behavior. Frustrated by inaction despite repeated complaints, the villagers collectively funded and installed a hidden camera in the school office to gather irrefutable evidence.
Villagers further alleged that the headmaster, who also holds a senior position in the teachers' union and has previously served as a state president for a prominent teachers’ association, had been using his influence to silence dissent. He reportedly threatened villagers and staff members with false legal cases if they opposed his actions.
District Education Officer, Elementary (DEO) Rajendra Kumar Sharma confirmed that the department received the explicit videos via email. "This is a serious matter that has tarnished the image of the education department," Sharma said. The DEO added that a three-member committee of gazetted officers has been constituted to investigate the matter.
The DEO assured that the committee would begin its investigation within two days and submit its findings within five days.
Following initial inquiries, both the headmaster and the teacher were suspended. Vyas’s headquarters has been shifted to Rashmi, while the teacher’s has been moved to Begu. Disciplinary action under Rule 16(1)(C) of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control, and Appeal) Rules, 1958, has been initiated against both individuals.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage among local residents and parents, who expressed deep concern over the impact of such behavior on students. On Saturday, a large group of villagers gathered at the Gangrar police station and submitted a memorandum to both the Station House Officer and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, demanding the immediate dismissal of the accused.
This is not just a violation of professional ethics but a grave threat to the moral fabric of our schools, the villagers said in their complaint. Durga Prasad Dadhich, the Gangrar Station In-Charge, assured the villagers that a thorough investigation would be conducted and submitted to the education department.
Villagers also highlighted other allegations, including the headmaster forcing students to clean and mop the school premises. They accused him of exploiting his authority and demanded exemplary punishment to set a precedent.
