Sexually assaulted, student shames tutor on Instagram

Allahabad: A student of a reputed English medium school of the city, who had recently appeared in her class XII exams, has accused her former tutor of sexually assaulting her around five years back. The police have registered an FIR on the complaint of the girl’s parents and started investigation.
The girl shared her ordeal in an Instagram post on Sunday and revealed the name of her private tutor who used to teach her maths at her home in Allahabad.

After the girl put up the post on her Instagram account, her father shared it on his Facebook page. The girl’s post was hailed by many people who congratulated her for her brave act and demanded strict action against the tutor.

The girl claimed that the tutor brainwashed her and sexually assaulted her for two months and later blackmailed her emotionally and told her not to reveal it to anyone. The girl said that she decided to expose the tutor and posted her ordeal to save any other girl from becoming his prey since he is still taking classes at two places in Allahabad.

“Following a written complaint by girl’s family, a named FIR has been registered at Civil Lines police station against the tutor under relevant sections of POCSO Act. We are probing the matter and will subsequently arrest the accused,” CO Civil Lines Brij Narayan Singh told TOI on Monday.

“The girl says that she kept quiet for years because the accused used to threaten her. But now as she has come out with her ordeal, we have initiated action against the accused since she was a minor when the incident occurred,” he added.
