'The manager has been trying to harass me'- Mamata Dubey

She somehow managed to run away from the classroom and the manager of the organisation. As per the reports, the manager informed the media that the children got enraged because Mamata often called them orphans and used to scold them. The victim teacher, however, had another side of the story to tell. Dubey, meanwhile, said that she had an argument with the manager who even went on to remove her from the service, stating that she had been reinstated on the intervention of the former District Magistrate Neha Sharma. The victim teacher even went on to blame the manager of the Gandhi Seva Niketan of harassing her after the transfer of the former District Magistrate.
