Police in Kathmandu have arrested a college teacher on the charge of sexual abuse against his students.

After the students launched a demonstration in front of the Gaushala police circle, the police arrested Janardan Adhikari, a teacher at St Lawrence College in Chabahil of Kathmandu.

“We have not received the complaint yet formally. We will make public the details of the incident after receiving the complaint,” SSP Sudeep Giri of the Kathmandu police office says.
