After furore over Nirbhaya remark, Raipur teacher says instructed girls 'according to KV code of conduct'
Amid furore over the insensitive remark on the 2012 Nirbhaya case, a teacher in Raipur has come out in her defence saying that all she did was instruct the girl students to abide with the school’s ‘code of conduct.’
Snehlata Shankhwar, while talking to news agency ANI said, ‘I instruct girls according to KV code of conduct. Parents should ensure that their children should at least wear the school uniform properly. I have objected and pointed out at girl students for wearing lipstick at times.’
‘Saw Class 11 students outside at 8:30pm and suggested them to go home. A person's safety is in their own hands,’ she added.
However, she still maintained that Nirbhaya case wouldn’t happen had the young woman stayed home. ‘What happened with Nirbhaya was wrong but had she not gone out late she could have saved herself,’ the KV teacher said.
The teacher of a Kendriya Vidyalaya, Shankhwar had reportedly told girl students that if they wear lipstick and short dresses; they would get raped ‘just like Nirbhaya.’
During the ‘counselling session’ of Class IX and XI girl students, Snehlata Shankhwar, the biology teacher told them that girls who go out late in night are inviting trouble and are ‘asking for it.’
She had backed the rapists and said that it is a girl’s duty to stay home after dark, a Times of India report said on Tuesday. Nothing would have happened to Nirbhaya ahd she stayed home. The teacher also questioned why she went out with a guy, who was not her husband. Her parents should not have allowed going out in first place.
The incident came to light after some of the girls recorded the session and showed it to the school principal. Bhagwan Das Ahire, the Principal, confirmed to Times of India, that a complaint has been registered against the accused teacher and a panel will look into the matter.
Not just students, the parents are outraged too. Many feel that such a discussion in the school will leave the students stigmatised. Many complain that the ‘counselling session’ was nothing short of mental harassment.
On December 16, 2012, six men had brutally assaulted Jyoti Pandey, the 23-year-old paramedic student, and a male friend in a moving bus as it drove through the streets of New Delhi. She was thrown out of the bus -- so grievously injured that her insides were spilling out -- along with her male friend near the airport.
A fortnight later, on December 29, 2012, she succumbed in a Singapore hospital.
