Impact on her role as a teacher

Sarita’s actions have led to serious concerns about her ability to serve as a positive role model for her students. As a teacher at R.S. Convent Sainik School, she holds a position of responsibility and influence over young minds. The contrast between her professional role and her alleged behavior at home has left many questioning her suitability to continue teaching.

The allegations paint a disturbing picture of domestic violence within the family, and they demand immediate attention to ensure the safety and dignity of her elderly father-in-law.

Domestic violence surges

While the incident has gained attention in local circles, there is a growing call for authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly. Domestic abuse, especially against the elderly, is a serious offense, and many are urging that justice be served without delay. The issue also highlights the need for greater awareness and action against domestic violence in all forms, particularly within households that are often overlooked.
