A POCSO court in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, sentenced a tuition teacher to 20 years in prison for allegedly raping a minor student and making explicit videos of the assault. The case, which shocked the community, also led to the suicide of the victim’s mother after she discovered the abuse.
The incident occurred in July 2019, when the victim began taking tuition from the teacher, Rahul. Initially, the lessons took place at his home, but by September 2019, Rahul started visiting the victim’s house instead. It was during these sessions that he sexually assaulted the girl in the absence of other family members and filmed the abuse.
