Times News NetworkBangalore: An angry mob gathered outside St Claret High School, Jalahalli village, on Monday to protest school principal Fr Mathew’s alleged misbehaviour with two girl students.
It is reported that the principal of St Claret High School allegedly used “suggestive language and even put his hands around the shoulders” of two students.
According to the police, parents of the students lodged a complaint with the Jalahalli police on Sunday evening. Around 11.15 pm the same day, a mob attacked the church and school.
Fr Mathew, who has been part of the school for the last six years, was unavailable for comment on Monday.
The archbishop of Bangalore, Bernard Moras, who visited the school at about 8.15 am on Monday in a private car, bore the brunt of the mob’s ire. The mob smashed the car’s windshield.
Later, the archbishop met the protesters and heard their grievances. Health minister R Ashok rushed to the spot and pacified the crowd.
DCP North Malini Krishnamurthy will probe the case.
Exams have been put forward by a week because of the incident. Christmas vacation starts from Thursday.
