In a deeply disturbing case out of Mumbai, a 37-year-old college principal has been arrested for allegedly sexually harassing and molesting a 17-year-old girl studying at his college in Borivali.
The MHB Police made the arrest following a formal complaint filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and IPC sections related to molestation.
The minor, a resident of Nagpada in South Mumbai, endured repeated harassment between June 2024 and May 2025. Reports indicate the accused not only made persistent advances but also pressured the girl to enter into a romantic relationship.
Initially silent out of fear, the victim ultimately approached the police after suffering months of mental and emotional trauma. The accused is currently in police custody, and an investigation is ongoing.
This case once again raises urgent questions about student safety within educational institutions.
