Suspended civil servant, Kishore Kumar remains on full pay and no action has been taken against him so far although he has publicly admitted that he was getting paid for putting up political posts to attack politicians.

Kumar also continued to work as a teacher after getting charged in 2018.

He was charged with three counts of criminal trespassing, indecently assaulting a woman and criminal intimidation, and appeared in court in 2018.

Kumar confirms that the case is before the courts.

He was suspended last Monday.

Kumar is a computer science teacher at Ratu Sukuna Memorial School.

Minister for Education, Rosy Akbar says we should now respect the Police and Ministry investigations that are ongoing. We are trying to get her comments on whether any decision has been made.

Kumar has made porn claims through his facebook video posts against NFP parliamentarian, Lenora Qereqeretabua.

Qereqeretabua says she will wait for CID, Ministry of Education and the Online Safety Commission to respond to their complaints against this alleged criminal.
