A coaching centre owner in Jasdan town of Gujarat’s Rajkot district was arrested for allegedly breaking COVID-19 norms after police found more than 550 students in his premises during a raid, the police said on Monday.
The raid on the centre took place on Sunday and its owner, identified as 39-year-old Jaysukh Sankhalva, was arrested on Monday, said Rajkot Superintendent of Police Balram Meena.
“He was arrested under IPC and Epidemic Diseases Act provisions for disobeying police notification on COVID-19 norms as well as for negligent act which may spread infection. The children have been handed over to their parents,” he said.
According to the police, Sankhalva runs a coaching centre-cum-hostel to provide training to students appearing for Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya and Balachadi Sainik School entrance exams.
“Based on a tip off, we raided the premises and found 555 students between the age of 9-10 taking tuition. These children were not wearing masks nor was social distancing being maintained. The centre was functioning despite the state government’s ban on classroom teaching due to the COVID-19 outbreak,” Jasdan police station sub inspector JH Sisodiya said.
Before his arrest, Sankhalva told reporters the students were staying in his hostel since May 15 with parental consent.
