A video of a Uttar Pradesh school operator telling a female employee, "Wife is ill, I want to sleep with you," has gone viral, prompting public condemnation and calls for action.
A short clip captured a senior operator of a private school in Uttar Pradesh making an explicit proposition to a female staff member, saying his wife was ill and he wanted to sleep with her. The recording, posted on social media, quickly amassed thousands of views and sparked widespread criticism across the state.
The incident has raised concerns about workplace harassment in educational institutions, with many netizens demanding a thorough investigation and strict punitive measures. Legal experts note that such remarks may constitute sexual harassment under the Indian Penal Code and the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
Authorities have not yet released an official statement, but the school’s management is reportedly cooperating with the police. The viral video has intensified calls for stronger enforcement of existing harassment policies and better training for staff to prevent similar incidents.
Public reaction remains heated, with several political leaders and civil society groups urging swift action to protect women employees and uphold a safe working environment in schools.
