The Mumbai school teacher, arrested for sexually assaulting one of her students from Class 11, fed him anti-anxiety medicines, and got him drunk before forcing him into sexual encounters, a report with Hindustan Times has claimed.
As more shocking details emerge, it was known that after the boy resisted the teacher鈥檚 closeness on the school campus, the teacher reportedly roped in one of her female friends to persuade the student on her behalf.
The report claimed that the female friend of the teacher was not associated with the school, and that she allegedly told the student that relationships between teenage boys and older women were common.
Further, the friend of the teacher also convinced the student by telling him that he and the teacher were 鈥渕ade for each other鈥.
THE MUMBAI SCHOOL HORROR
The incident came to light after the local police received a complaint from the parents of the student, alleging that their son was sexually assaulted by a teacher from the school he attended.
They also said their son was intoxicated by the teacher on various occasions.
The parents had begun noticing a change in behaviour with their son, after which they confronted him, and learnt that he had been struggling with anxiety because of the teacher鈥檚 assault.
Though the student had earlier narrated his ordeal to his parents, they, as per the report, did not submit a complaint, as the student was to pass his school to graduation in some months.
However, the teacher was exposed after she attempted to contact the student again through one of his domestic staff.
The teacher reportedly conveyed to the student that she wanted to meet him again.
THE MUMBAI SCHOOL TEACHER鈥檚 ARREST
The 40-year-old accused teacher is married with children, and taught English language at the elite school in Mumbai.
As the case was reported, the police, in their investigation, found that the teacher had been sexually assaulting one of her students on multiple occasions for more than a year.
Subsequently, a case against her was registered, and she was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
According to the report, the complaint against her mentioned that she began showing closeness with the student during meetings to set up dance groups for the school.
She first made her sexual overture towards the student in January 2024.
The student, who was reluctant to meet the teacher in person, finally decided to meet her after he was continuously persuaded by the teacher鈥檚 female friend for the same.
It was also revealed that the teacher used to pick the student up in her sedan and took him to various locations, including some five-star hotels in the city, where she forcefully undressed him and assaulted him.
As the student developed acute anxiety, the teacher fed him anti-anxiety pills.
She also used to offer him alcohol and intoxicate him before their sexual encounters.
