Sitapur: Coaching institute teacher rapes girl

LUCKNOW: A teacher at a coaching institute in Sitapur was arrested on Friday for allegedly raping a 19-year-old girl and making the video of the act viral, police said.
The rape survivor was preparing for competitive examinations and came in contact with the accused, Uday Raj (25), a few months ago.
The rape survivor’s brother lodged an FIR after an obscene video of his sister was circulated by the accused.
“The girl used to visit the teacher to take mathematics lessons. After the classes, Raj used to force himself upon her and also filmed the act. The victim was afraid of narrating the ordeal to anybody as Raj threatened her that he would circulate her video,” said SHO, Kotwali, Amber Singh.
“On Wednesday, Raj again tried to harass the girl but she managed to escape. She narrated the ordeal to her parents,” Singh added. In the meantime, Raj forwarded the video to some of his acquaintances. Next day, the girl’s kin came to know about the video and lodged a case against Raj accusing him of rape and causing hurt.
Singh said the medical examination report of the girl was awaited while preliminary investigation revealed that Raj wanted to marry the girl but she resisted his overtures. “It also came to light that Raj was a post-graduate in commerce and got a job in the Indian Army,” the SHO said.
