AIDWA demands CBI probe into teacher sex racket case

New Delhi, Aug 31 (UNI) The Delhi unit of the All India Democratic Women's Association today demanded a time-bound CBI inquiry into the Uma Khurana-run sex racket and immediate dismissal of the teacher.

''No words are enough to condemn the heinous crime committed by Uma...It is shocking that even though there was a very serious complaint against the teacher and she was placed under suspension, surprisingly she was reinstated without any action being taken,'' Delhi AIDWA president Sonia Verma said.

Khurana, senior mathematics teacher in Government Sarvodaya Girls Senior Secondary School at Daryaganj, was caught 'red-handed' on camera during a sting operation 'trading' a student.

Ms Verma said the probe should not only look into the teacher's behaviour and ''business'' and also how she might have 'misused' girls from other schools ''The inquiry should find out the other people involved in the whole racket,'' she added.

According to the TV report, the teacher would take nude photographs of girl students who visited her house for tuition after drugging them. She would then coerce them into prostitution threatening to get their photographs published.

Khurana (41) was recruited in 1987 in an MCD school. In 1994, she was promoted as a TGT (Maths) in a Delhi government school.

Last year, she was suspended for misconduct and poor school result during her stint in the Vivek Vihar branch of Sarvodaya school.

She was reinstated and transferred to the Daryaganj branch of the Sarvodaya school about two months ago from the Vivek Vihar branch after parents in that school lodged written complaints against her.
