Kerala teacher sentenced to 111 years in prison for raping minor student

The accused, a government employee, conducted private tuition classes for students at his residence. He asked the class 11 girl student to attend his “special classes” and raped her on July 2, 2019. He also captured pictures of the assault on his mobile phone and shared them among his close circles.

The incident came to light when the girl stopped attending his tuition classes in fear. Later, the girl's parents lodged a complaint at the Fort Police Station. The convict's wife died of suicide after learning about her husband's abuse of the minor girl.

During the trial, the teacher claimed that he was present at work during the incident and also produced registered leave records with signatures.
