Shiva Kumar Rana, a teacher at Siddhartha Academy in Ghorahi, Dang was arrested for harassing a female teacher at the school on the basis of a verbal complaint lodged by the victim.

After Rana repeatedly engaged her in various obscene activities with wrong intentions, she took a video and posted it on social media. The video of the teacher being abused has gone viral on social media. Police claim that the incident became public after the video went viral.

Police said that they could also file a case under indecent behaviour or under the case of sexual harassment that would be punished more severely by the court. However, it would be prosecuted on the basis of the case filed by the victim. The school has expelled Rana on the charge of committing obscene acts and issued a statement today expelling the accused teacher.

The country's criminal code has made clear legal provisions not to show genitals in public places. Those who commit such acts are liable to imprisonment for up to six months or a fine of up to Rs. 5,000 or both.

Paragraph 5, Article 122 of the Code provides that "a person above the age of 10 years shall not engage in obscene activities or behaviour in public or for the purpose of showing genitals or uttering obscene words or gestures to anyone except for the purposes of medical science or medical treatment."

Anyone who engages in sexual intercourse or any kind of unnatural intercourse in a public place or in any other place visible to other people is liable to imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to Rs. 10,000 or both.
