Three former students of a Catholic school in Chandigarh have levelled sexual harassment charges against the former principal and co-founding director of the school on social media.

Harold Carver, who is the principal of the school has been accused of sexual harassment by Manraj Singh.

Manraj, a student of the 1980 batch, has called Carver a sexual predator on his Facebook page. He said that he and his hostel mates were aware of the principal's activities. He mentioned that he was a Class 7 student when the accused called him to his office and initiated an uncomfortable conversation with him.

Earlier, a 42-year-old Delhi based journalist Sanjay Austa had accused Harold Carver of sexually harassing him and his hostel mates when he was a student in the school. Austa had said in his blog that he was a Class 9 student when Carver abused him in his office.

"Harold Carver is a sexual predator whose choice was children. Ever since I learnt that Harold Carver was back in Chandigarh, I started getting worried. How many children would he have abused in his entire career? How many like me who knew he was a pedophile were silenced? How many kids couldn't have walked out of his office the way I did that day," said Sanjay Austa.

Another former student Navin Chhetri, who is currently in Colorado, US, has also accused Harold of sexual harassment.

However, it is not for the first time that Harold has been accused of sexual harassment by his students. Carver was also sentenced to prison for one month 30 years ago for allegedly abusing half a dozen students. Navin Chhetri, who was one of the students had also appeared in the court. The complaint was later withdrawn.

The school management has refuted the allegations against Harold Carver saying that he is a "man of intense integrity" and accusations levelled against him are false, baseless and extremely hurtful.

Harold Carver has also termed the allegations as baseless.

"I have an unblemished record and cannot even imagine committing such an act. I sanguinely feel that the whole game is to malign the reputation of the school," Harold Carver said.
