The incident of a lady teacher of Navagaththegama being made to kneel down sometime ago was something that created a sensation in the country. On that occasion the said teacher was harassed by a politician. In the story that follows it is of an incident where a male teacher of the same school who had tried to molest a lady teacher which has

now created an uproar.

Some weeks ago on a rainy day a 29 year old unmarried lady teacher had remained back in the teachers' resting room after school was over because of the inconvenience to go out. At that particular time there had been several male and female teachers there. However as time progressed, when rain began to cease gradually, some teachers had begun to leave and in the end it was this particular lady teacher and this male teacher who were remaining there.

The male teacher who happened to be a father of one child naturally had cordial relations with this lady teacher and therefore she has had no suspicion about him. Anyhow when she was getting ready to move away from the resting room, this male teacher had blocked her path. She had then cast a look of surprise at him when he had asked her "are you scared of me?" when she had replied saying "why should I be scared of you ... are you a devil?"  No sooner she said this he had closed her mouth with his hands and and had dragged her towards a corner of the room and tried to molest her.

In fact he had started feeling her all over her body and even gone to the extent of removing her sari and jacket. At that moment though she had tried to shout out he had prevented her from doing so and because of the sound of the patter of rain her shouts had not been audible to other rooms, which then  was the complaint she had made to the police. In any case she had managed to release herself from his grips with difficulty and dart away from the place, she had told the police.

After this incident was notified to Anamaduwa Education Division by the police, the 2 teachers were transferred to 2 other schools and a separate inquiry is underway, it is reported.
