Teacher held for raping student

New Delhi, December 26: A government school teacher has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman who took private tuitions from him as a schoolgirl. 

The teacher, identified as Ram Avtar (40), is also charged with making an obscene MMS of the woman and blackmailing her into continuing in a physical relationship with him over the last several years. 

The victim, who is 22 years old now, has told the police that Ram Avtar, who teaches Hindi at a government school in south Delhi's Ambedkar Nagar, took her to Rajasthan in 2004 and had intercourse with her. 

After that, the Madangir area resident repeatedly lured her away from home on various pretexts and continued exploiting her. 

The woman alleged that in 2008 she understood Avtar was taking undue advantage of her and objected to his acts. The accused, however, recorded an MMS of her and blackmailed her into submission.
