Kakinada District Education Officer P. Ramesh on Monday (September 7, 2026) suspended two government teachers, Joga Suresh and Reddi Srinivas, for allegedly sexually assaulting girl students, on the findings of a departmental inquiry.

Suresh, a physical science teacher, allegedly sexually assaulted a girl student at a government high school before 2025. “Later, the victim reportedly ended her life. Mr. Suresh has been suspended with effect from September 7 based on the internal inquiry. On the other hand, the police have also registered a case in connection with the victim’s death,” said Mr. Ramesh. The inquiry began on a written complaint lodged by the girl’s parents.
