Chandigarh, November 20, 2017: The Principal of the Government Meritorious School, Ghabdan, District Sangrur, has been removed from the post after being indicted of charges of sexual harassment in a report submitted to the Chief Minister’s Office.
Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had directed Deputy Commissioner Sangrur to investigate the charges against Wing Commander C. Deepak Dogra (Retd). In his report, the DC found evidence to support the molestation allegations leveled against the Principal by two Class XII girls.
