Once in a while you can just hire the wrong person. Sapphire International School hired a teacher now under arrest suspected for killing a boy because the boy didn’t want an improper relationship with the teacher. A bad apple can happen for everyone. Especially in a country where it is impossible to screen anyone for their past acts.
But in this case we are talking of a cover-up and that is where it becomes serious. Unless the management are political well connected the authorities must intervene and conduct an investigation. The hopes are there but we are talking India where even the students believe that they are entitled to cheating.
It is a tragedy for the family of the poor boy and it is safe to state that it could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.
