Mangaluru: Parents file police complaint over teacher’s alleged religious insults

Mangaluru: A complaint was lodged at the Mangaluru South Police Station on Sunday regarding the alleged derogatory remarks made by a teacher about Hinduism and Hindu gods during a class.

On February 8, while teaching a lesson on “Work is Worship,” the teacher allegedly insulted Hinduism, sparking animosity among the children, the complaint says.

The complainants allege that the teacher’s actions aimed to sow seeds of “religious discord among the children” and potentially facilitate “conversion” from Hinduism to another religion.

The parents demanded appropriate legal action against the teacher in their complaint to the police.
