KOZHIKODE: It has been found that a teacher had lodged a fake complaint alleging that a Class 10 student was sexually abused by her father. It was the teacher of an aided school in Perambra who lodged a false complaint with the Child Welfare Committee.

After finding that the complaint was false, the Child Welfare Committee issued a warning to the teacher and the school. The student then revealed to a media outlet that the teacher had threatened and insulted her. According to the child's family, they do not know why the teacher lodged a false complaint against the girl's father.

The Perambra police had recorded the statement of the girl on the complaint of the teacher. The girl also underwent counseling. The girl repeatedly told the police and ChildLine officials that she had no issues. The ChildLine officials recorded the child's statements when her parents were not with her. The child also alleged that the teacher threatened her not to tell her family or father about the police recording her statement.

Meanwhile, the headmaster of the school has come out defending the teacher. He said that the teacher lodged the complaint after the girl's friends told her that the girl was subjected to physical and mental abuse from home.
