The mother of a student involved in an alleged inappropriate-touching case at Summer Valley School in Dehradun has started a solo protest outside the school gate, demanding action and access to CCTV footage.
She alleges that police have been negligent in the investigation and that the school administration has not taken concrete action. Her protest follows the registration of a case at Dalanwala police station on 24 October.
The mother is seeking action against the people named in the case. She also wants the CCTV video of a conversation involving her daughter, the school director and the principal on 16 October to be made public.
What the mother has alleged
According to the mother, the director and principal called her daughter into a room and asked her to demonstrate where the physics teacher had allegedly touched her. She says the CCTV footage from that room is central to the investigation.
She has demanded that the accused apologise to her daughter. These claims are part of the complaint and allegations; the source material does not establish guilt through a court decision.
The mother has also questioned the progress of the police inquiry. She says the investigation appears to be more favourable towards the school administration, rather than focusing on the allegations against the people named in the case.
Case registered at Dalanwala police station
The case was registered on the mother’s complaint at Dalanwala police station on 24 October. The school director, principal and physics teacher were named under 7 provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Child Protection Act, according to the report.
The mother says that around 10 days after the case was registered, police were still investigating the matter and had not determined the role of the people named in the complaint. She has therefore intensified her demand for action by sitting alone outside the school entrance.
The immediate issues raised by her protest are the release of the requested CCTV footage, examination of the allegations involving the school officials and physics teacher, and progress in the police investigation. a police statement responding to her allegations is not yet available.
Conclusion
The student’s mother is continuing her solo protest outside Summer Valley School, seeking CCTV footage, an apology and action in the case registered at Dalanwala police station on 24 October. Police investigation into the allegations remains ongoing.
