Former and current students of a premier school in Chennai raised sexual harassment complaints against a commerce teacher working at the school. It was alleged that he sexually harassed schoolgirls for years. A few alumni also said that despite bringing this to the notice of the school administration, no action was taken. The school, however, denied that they had received complaints about the teacher in question - Rajagopalan.
The Chennai police later arrested the teacher who was suspended from the school and remanded him to judicial custody. Further investigation is also on in the case. Meanwhile, actor Kasturi took to Twitter to pen her latest thoughts on the matter and said -
It is a sign of the times when predators get to talk like saints and offenders get to be judges. I see some names spewing venom on a school and when i think of their history, it makes me want to vomit. Wonder when their victims will get justice? #wolvesinsheepsclothing. (sic)

While she didn’t name anyone, her tweet did set some tongues wagging. Here are a few reactions:
What is happening here right now is pure vendetta against one particular caste... The accused shouldn't be spared and very rightly he got arrested . But few fringe groups using this to defame the name of the school.
Cryptic tweets, thinking about history won't bring justice. Dare to reveal?
It's neither abt victims nor abt justice! Seems like some sort of vendetta! Remember Saravana bhavan! Wht happened within the last 2 years! Many of the branches shut! Hope it doesn't happen with the school! But doesn't seem so
Batting for school management and not supporting victims of sexual harassment ???? (sic).
