Former and current students of Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan aka PSBB, a school in Chennai's KK Nagar, have raised sexual harassment complaints against a commerce teacher working at the school.
It has been alleged that he has been sexually harassing school girls for years. A few alumni have also said that despite bringing this to the notice of the school administration, no action was taken. The school, however, has denied that they had received complaints about the teacher in question.
Several celebrities have come forward and have demanded a strict action on the teacher. Now, Vishal too has taken to his social media and shared an angry post, “The Sexual Harassment by a Teacher from #PSBB makes me cringe & realise that the School should be shut, not once anyone has apologised to the Students/Parents affected, such crimes should be taken really harshly, I request my friend Anbil Mahesh, the Minister for School Education to take a very strong step so that such incidents never happen again.
It's a disgrace that people are changing this topic into a communal issue. I hope that person who actually harassed the students be hanged for future teachers and schools to know that this is a crime that has to be immediately attended, at least now apologise to the Students/ Parents and not make it a communal issue.”
