The school, as part of its student safety initiative, had organized counseling sessions to educate students about good touch and bad touch. During one such session, the victim disclosed the abuse, prompting immediate action by the school administration and law enforcement.

The accused, employed as a dance instructor for students in grades one through five, was arrested after the child filed a complaint on Tuesday (December 17). The police have since registered two separate cases against the teacher and are investigating the possibility of additional victims. Investigators are also examining whether the offenses occurred on school premises or elsewhere.
