IndiaA government school principal in Alwar, Rajasthan, has been suspended following a viral video allegedly showing him bathing with female students aged 13 to 18. The education department confirmed the suspension, citing allegations made by local residents. The incident reportedly occurred during a post-Independence Day picnic to a dam near Bhadaz, where villagers claim no female teachers accompanied the group. The video, which has sparked public outrage, appears to show the principal interacting with the students in the water, with claims that he lifted some girls while teaching them to swim. Authorities have formed a three-member committee to investigate the allegations impartially, and police are verifying the video's authenticity and the circumstances of the event. Locals have raised safety concerns about the dam site, noting previous drowning incidents and restricted access due to risks. The community has demanded a transparent investigation and potential disciplinary action.
