2 UP teachers suspended after intimate video inside classroom goes viral

Kannauj (UP): Two assistant teachers posted at a government primary school here have been suspended after a video purportedly showing them in an intimate act inside a classroom surfaced on social media, officials said on Wednesday. District Basic Education Officer Sandeep Kumar placed both assistant teachers, who were posted at the Composite Primary School in the Saurikh block, under suspension on Tuesday.

Following the circulation of the video, which appears to be of the last winter season, an inquiry was ordered under Saurikh Block Education Officer Vishwanath Pathak. According to the inquiry report, the video purportedly showed conduct that was inconsistent with the expected standards of behaviour for teachers.

The report also stated that such activities could adversely affect students, and recommended disciplinary action against both teachers. Kumar said that during the suspension period, one of them has been attached to the block resource centre (BRC) at Gugarapur, while the other has been attached to the BRC at Talgram.

He said a departmental inquiry is underway. The purported video surfaced on social media two days ago, and the education department is verifying its authenticity as part of the ongoing inquiry, officials added.
