A private tutor was arrested in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district on Friday for allegedly raping and impregnating a Class 9 student of a residential school during her stay at home on summer vacation, police said.
A routine medical examination at the school earlier this week revealed that the girl was five months pregnant, following which her parents were informed of the matter, they said.
The investigating officer in the case said the parents spoke to the girl, who then opened up about the alleged sexual assault and threat she faced during the summer vacation.
The local authorities had announced summer vacation in schools of the area in March itself in view of the hot and humid weather at that time.
