Kota Court Sentences Tutor to Life Imprisonment for Raping Minor Student

A POCSO court in Kota (Rajasthan) has sentenced a coaching tutor to life imprisonment for raping a minor girl student for 2 years and blackmailing her, according to the public prosecutor.

Prosecutor Rakesh Thakore said that the court also imposed a fine of Rs 2,10,000 upon the convict.

The convict, Arif Mohammad Ansari (43), proprietor of Guru Shikhar coaching classes in Bundi here, repeatedly raped the minor student of his coaching institute. The matter came to light after the girl lodged a complaint on January 3, 2021 and alleged Ansari of raping her for around 2 years and using her private pictures and videos to blackmail her, Thakore conveyed.

Based on the complaint, the police lodged a case against the coaching tutor under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

After the FIR was filed, Ansari went absconding. He was arrested after a few months but released on bail.

Observing that such an act by a teacher with his student is unfortunate, the POCSO court judge Salim Badra on Thursday held Ansari guilty of raping and blackmailing the minor girl and awarded him life term.

The statements of 15 witnesses were recorded during the trial and 44 documents were produced before the court.
