Over a week after a computer teacher at a civic school in Navi Mumbai was arrested for molesting 14 students over two months, police and municipal officials have been counselling the girls and their kin. Since the police case, students started missing school and demanding transfer certificates.

The teacher, 31-year-old Lochan Parulekar, was arrested by Turbhe MIDC police on February 25 after the girls approached the school management, who registered an FIR.
