Bhadrak: Tension ran high in Basudevpur area in the district on Tuesday after some students of a computer training centre alleged that the owner of the institute has been sexually exploiting girls who are pursuing computer courses here.
According to reports, some students of BIIT Computer Institute on Tuesday ransacked the centre after they saw an obscene video clip featuring the computer trainer and a girl student.
“The centre-in-charge Sankarsan Sethi has been blackmailing girl students for a long while in the name of giving computer education.

Since then he has been absconding,” said Kamalakanta Giri, a student of the institute.
Following this, a case has been registered against Sethi at Basudevpur Police Station.
