A government-school teacher in Rajkot has been arrested in an investigation into alleged sexual assault of a child, according to reports published on October 2. The Times of India quoted investigating officer S. R. Meghani confirming the arrest and saying evidence, including CCTV footage, was being collected.
The complaint alleges that the teacher used threats about examination marks to pressure the child and sexually abused her earlier this year. Aaj Tak and VTV Gujarati also reported the case. The alleged offences were not reported as having occurred on October 2.
Police registered the case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after the child’s mother complained. The exact arrest date is not stated consistently across the reports, so this account identifies the date of disclosure.
The allegations have not been established by a court in the material reviewed. No response from the accused was included. The child’s schools, neighbourhood and other identifying details are withheld.
