In a shocking incident from Ahmedabad, a former sports teacher, Yash Vaghela, has been arrested for allegedly sexually exploiting a student at Ankur School in the Paldi area. Vaghela, who worked at the school since 2018, is accused of taking a student to a hotel under the pretext of filling out forms and obtaining sports tickets. Reports suggest that he then took inappropriate photos and videos of the student, threatening her to marry him.
The situation began to unfold when a complaint was filed by the mother of the victim on April 22. She reported that Vaghela had lured her daughter to a hotel room, where he recorded compromising videos. Following this, the police took immediate action and arrested Vaghela. However, he managed to secure bail shortly after his arrest.
After getting bail, Vaghela made a new claim against a Home Guard officer, alleging that the officer had threatened him and demanded money, while also sharing a video that purportedly showed Vaghela being assaulted. This twist has led to further investigations by the Chandkheda police against the Home Guard officer.
The case has raised concerns about the safety of students in schools and the responsibilities of educational staff. It highlights the need for strict measures to protect students from potential predators in educational environments.
In the initial complaint, it was reported that a man named D.K. Patel contacted Vaghela’s father, claiming to be from the Sarkhej police station. He accused Vaghela of inappropriate conduct towards schoolgirls and warned of serious repercussions if the allegations were not addressed. This call added pressure on Vaghela, leading to further incidents of alleged blackmail.
On the following day, Vaghela apologised to the victim and others at the school, but Patel recorded this apology and shared it on social media, exacerbating Vaghela’s humiliation.
During a sports event, Patel allegedly threatened Vaghela with a demand for five lakh rupees, failing which he would file a serious complaint against him. Vaghela, however, refused to comply, leading to further confrontations.
The case has sparked discussions on the importance of safeguarding minors in educational institutions. It is crucial for schools to implement strict policies and training to ensure a safe environment for students.
As the investigation continues, both Vaghela and the Home Guard officer are facing scrutiny. The police have committed to thoroughly investigating all aspects of the case to ensure justice for the victim and accountability for those involved.
This incident serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance in protecting children and ensuring that schools remain safe spaces for learning and growth.
