Tuition teacher arrested for sexual assault of minor

A 50-year-old private tutor from Thane, Maharashtra, has been arrested for allegedly raping his 17-year-old student several times between October 2023 and November 2024.
The tutor, who taught in Bhayander, would visit the girl's home under the guise of career discussions and also abused her in his classroom when no one was around.

TL;DR

Victim finally opened up to her mother

After months of threats and silence, the student—a first-year BA—finally told her mother about what happened.
Her mother went straight to the police, leading to the tutor's arrest on Saturday.
He now faces charges under serious sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (including rape and criminal intimidation) and is currently in police custody while the investigation continues.
