The headmaster of a private school in Tamil Nadu's Cuddalore district was arrested on Thursday for allegedly sexually harassing a Class XII student last year.
The 40-year-old was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The incident came to light after a photo allegedly showing him hugging the former student was leaked, sparking outrage among residents. The girl has graduated from the school.
Enraged locals thrashed and paraded him semi-naked before police intervened and rescued him.
Following an investigation, he was arrested under the POCSO Act based on a complaint filed by the girl's father.
