Cuttack: Three days after he was accused of uploading obscene content on a WhatsApp group for students for online learning, the headmaster of a primary school in Cuttack clarified that the incident happened due to his ignorance on the use of smartphones.
“Sending such obscene materials intentionally is an inexcusable offense. I am ashamed of sending such materials. I admit that this incident has taken place without my knowledge,” the headmaster concerned, Dhirendra Nath Nayak, told the media.

My mistake was that I had forwarded this particular subject material to the WhatsApp group without checking it. After I came to know about the incident, I took immediate steps and asked the teachers concerned to delete the forwarded materials. I do not know how the obscene content was linked to the subject material which I had forwarded. I am not well-versed in online education as I do not know the proper use of smartphones,” he added.
On the other hand, Cuttack DCP Prateek Singh said that police have registered a case and begun an investigation to ascertain the veracity of the incident and appropriate action will be taken against the guilty.
