Schoolgirls in Rajasthan allegedly blacken a school principal’s face with ink during a protest over molestation allegations. The girls’ demonstration is reported to take place on Monday, and police intervene after the incident. The principal is taken into custody as authorities move toward registering a case.

According to police, the accusations lead to plans to register a molestation case against the accused under relevant legal sections. The education department is also reported to be taking steps following the students’ complaints. While outlets focus on the protest itself—students throwing ink and then confronting the principal—the core development across reports is the alleged misconduct, the students’ complaint to authorities, and the resulting action by police and the education department.
