Murderous Attacks & Sex Abuse Cases: Odisha Teachers Land In Big Trouble

Bhubaneswar: Contrary to the perception of a ‘prim and proper’ profession, teachers in Odisha are making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. They are being increasingly embroiled in crimes, both as victims and perpetrators.

While several teachers are victims of murderous assaults, others have been accused of sexual misconduct with their students.

Principal Critical

In the latest incident, the Principal of Stewart School, Sukinda, Chandan Kumar Das, was reportedly battling for life in a private hospital in Bhubaneswar after being attacked on Monday.

Husband With Knife

A man attacked his wife, a teacher, inside Durgapalli High School in Puintala block of Balangir district on Wednesday.

Fake Teachers

People earning appointment as teachers by submitting false certificates is also a menace in Odisha.
