ALWAR/JAIPUR, 12 Jun 2012: A girl studying in a coaching institute at Bhiwadi was allegedly gangraped by the teacher and two aides for almost a year. The girl had not reported the matter as the accused had threatened her to keep quiet or else he would post her video footage online. However, the matter came to light three days ago when the victim attempted suicide.

 

Police arrested one Isha, a maths teacher and booked her for criminal conspiracy (120-B), however the accused teacher and his aides were at large.

 

The local police, hoever, did not highlight the arrest, but the incident came to light when Isha was produced in court.

 

When contacted, Himmat Singh, additional superintendent of police, Bhiwadi, told TOI, "The victim was a student of a private senior secondary school and was taking tuitions from one Ishwar Singh. The vicitms’ parents alleged that she was gangraped by Ishwar and two of his accomplices for almost a year."

 

"On Saturday when the girl attempted suicide, her parents forced her to reveal the reason behind her trauma and then she spilled the beans. Later, she also informed them of video clip they had prepared," Singh added.
