Police in Odisha's Kendrapada district arrested a dance teacher on September 30 following a complaint alleging sexual assault of a child. PTI and The Times of India independently reported the arrest and registration of a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the POCSO Act and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

The alleged assault occurred earlier in September. The fresh development is the arrest. The Times of India's local correspondent reported, citing police, that the accused was produced in court on September 30, refused bail and sent to judicial custody. A copy of that order was not available in the reviewed material.

The allegations remain subject to investigation and trial. The reports did not include a response from the accused or his lawyer. Details that could identify the child are withheld.
