The Eluru Two Town police registered a case against an athlete coach of a sports school, who allegedly behaved indecently with the girl students.
The accused, N.V. Vinayak Prasad, allegedly sexually abused an athlete, who was studying in the school located in the town, a few days ago.
The coach asked the minor girl to come to his room and touched her inappropriately, though she resisted and pleaded to leave her, it was alleged.
The girl complained about the misbehaviour of the athlete coach to the higher authorities, who enquired and confirmed sexual harassment in the government sports school.
Based on a complaint, the police registered a case under POCSO Act and other Sections and took up investigation, said Eluru district Superintendent of Police K. Pratap Shiva Kishore.
“We are investigating the case. Police will record the statement of the victim. The accused will be arrested soon,” Mr. Pratap Shiva Kishore told The Hindu on Sunday.
