Nagpur: A 70-year-old school director has been booked by Wathoda police in Nagpur for allegedly making obscene gestures and making inappropriate remarks towards a 27-year-old woman employee.

According to the complaint, the woman has been working at East Point School in Kharbi for around a year. The school director, identified as Ashok Jaiswal (70), allegedly approached her and engaged her in personal conversations.

Police said Jaiswal allegedly told the woman that he wanted to be friends with her and that their conversations should not be disclosed to anyone. He allegedly made obscene gestures by sticking out his tongue and moving it over his lips while looking at her.
