Lucknow: A teacher tried to set herself on fire in front of the assembly building in Lucknow today, alleging that the principal of her school had molested her and the police were not taking her complaint.
The woman said she had also gone to the 5, Kalidas Marg residence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to raise the matter, but no one there heard her.
She then tried to immolate herself in front of the state assembly building, facing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state headquarters.
The woman said she teaches at Saraswati Shishu Mandir School and the principal Vinod Awasthi had molested her. She alleged he had been torturing her ever since she told him that she would file a complaint with the police and make the matter public.
While she tried to immolate herself, Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Sahi and Social Welfare Minister Ramapati Shastri were inside the BJP office for the "Jan Sunwai" programme, where ministers of the state government listen to people's problems.
The case came into the media glare when earlier this month, the girl tried to kill herself in front of Mr Adityanath's house in Lucknow.
