Fifty-year-old George Bernard Shaw Halder, the principal was arrested yesterday for allegedly molesting a Class XII student of his school in his chamber, police sources said.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Halder earlier harassed other girl students, but the victims did not complain for fear of him, the sources said.
