Kanpur: A primary school teacher was severely beaten for allegedly showing pornographic clips to girl students in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao district. Police said the accused Shailendra Srivastava, a teacher at the Wazirganj Government Basic Primary School, showed obscene films on his mobile to a group of girl students studying in class IV in the school.

Some of the girls reported the matter to their parents who along with other villagers reached the school and created a ruckus. They severely thrashed the teacher and called the police who took him in custody.

Srivastava has refuted the allegations and said that he was just trying to show his students images of Khajuraho temples and Taj Mahal in his mobile phone.
