The principal Arvind Vyas of the Chittorgarh school was repeatedly seen on CCTV kissing, cuddling, and acting inappropriately with a female employee named Kantha Pandya. Another video shows the principal sitting at his desk in the school, idly chewing tobacco. These allegedly recent videos show the principal and teacher acting inappropriately on school property on multiple occasions with the two said to have been having an affair as they cheated on their partners.
A covert camera placed in the principal’s office captured the instructors, Arvind Nath Vyas and Kantha Pandya aka Kanta Pandey, engaging in s*xual activity. The instructors are from the Government Higher Secondary School in the Rajasthani region of Chittorgarh, which is situated in the village of Salera. According to local reports, the male instructor doubles as the principal. His designation is not included in the suspension order, though.

Why the authorities suspended the teachers?
Two teachers in Rajasthan have been suspended by the district education department following allegations of inappropriate behavior within the principal’s office during school hours. The suspension came after a video surfaced on social media, showing the teachers engaged in intimate acts. The footage led to an immediate investigation, and the suspension orders were issued on January 18.

The teachers, Arvind Nath Vyas and Kantha Pandya, were caught on a hidden camera installed in the principal’s office at the Government Higher Secondary School in Salera village, Chittorgarh district. Although local reports suggest that Vyas may also hold the position of principal, the official suspension order does not specify his role within the school. Rajasthan’s District Education Officer, Rajendra Sharma, addressed the issue, confirming that both teachers have been suspended while an inquiry is underway.
Sharma stated that immediate action had been taken based on the footage, and an inquiry committee had been formed. He mentioned that a report would be submitted within 2-3 days, and appropriate action would be taken depending on the findings. The circulation of the video had caused widespread outrage in the community, raising concerns about the behavior of school staff.
In a related incident, it was reported that a teacher in Telangana had been suspended the previous year for misbehaving with female students. The teacher was later booked under the Protection of Children from S*xual Offences (POCSO) Act, and a police complaint was filed against him.
