Girl student's molester should be punished

It is really shocking to hear that a girl was molested in school by a 53 yr-old PE teacher. The brave girl  reported the accident to lady teacher and later to headmaster of the school but all in vain. After waiting for months for justice, the girl and her sister were forced to leave the school and stayed home as they fear repeat of sexual harassment.  School authority ignored victim's complaint. Months passed and no action taken by school authorities against the teacher and he continued to remain in service. The victim girl later filed a complaint along with her parents at Mardol Police station and the Ponda locals came to the Mardol police station to get justice. In our country, incidents of rape, eve teasing, sexual harassment and molestation cases are on the rise. From adult women to minors to infants as young as three years old, none are spared. Our government of India says 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' but it is sadly not put into practice.  I request our CM, Education department and Minister, Goa Police and advocates to give justice to the girl child and request the court to give such a punishment to the PE teacher that no one else will dare to do such a shameful act.
