Kishore Darda, the chairman of Yavatmal Public School Committee, which runs the Yavatmal Public School, was on Tuesday sent to two-day police custody on charges of negligence following reports of alleged molestation of girl students by two teachers.
Yesterday Darda was sent to one-day police custody on the same charges.
Darda was arrested from Nagpur in the early morning hours yesterday following violent protests by the parents of a few girl students against the alleged molestation of their wards by two teachers - Yash Borundia and Amol Shirsagar.
The police custody of the two teachers, who were arrested five days ago in connection with this case, was yesterday extended till July 7.
The protesting parents were adamant that Darda should also be arrested on the charge of negligence.
Earlier on Sunday, as many as 22 policemen were injured in a clash with the protesting parents, who were demanding Darda's arrest.
