In a shocking incident Nithya, an English teacher in Arani was arrested by the police after her husband lodged a complaint against her showing photographic proof of her sexually exploiting her students. It is said that thirty-year-old Nithya separated from her husband three years back and though he suspected her of committing adultery did not know that she is a child abuser.

Nithya's husband found explicit pictures of her with her school students as well as tuition students and went to the District Collector on whose orders the Child Protection Department acted swiftly to ensure the arrest. More shocking is the fact that already complaints against Nithya were made but the government educational department only transferred her to various schools in Arani but never took legal action. Nithya has been lodged in the Vellore prison till April 4th.
