The incident came into light after Ritu Tawde, member of the BMC education committee submitted a complaint letter to Vakola police station as well as to BMC's education department regarding the incidents. The letter states, 'after the initial inquiry that was conducted at the school level in the presence of principal of the school; this complaint is being forwarded to you for detailed inquiry and strict action against teachers.' Tawde said, "We spoke to children at school where we got to know that these teachers were touching them inappropriately. After knowing details we have forwarded the complaint to concerned authorities."
