In yet another distressing incident, a class 9 student was allegedly raped by a tuition teacher in Assam’s Hojai.
The perpetrator identified as Biswajit Das who taught at the New Dawn School in Hojai’s Bidyanagar, was expelled from the institution two days ago due to various complaints from parents.
As per reports, the malefactor, who conducted private tuitions, recorded the video of the heinous act and subsequently made it viral.
The situation escalated when the viral footage prompted a furious reaction from local residents and parents, who confronted Das, stripped him of his clothes, and physically assaulted him before police arrived.
The Hojai Police have arrested Biswajit Das and initiated an investigation into the incident.
