Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): A court in Chhatarpur has found a coaching class teacher guilty of raping a minor girl, who used to come to his coaching for assistance in studies on Wednesday.
The court has awarded a 20-year-jail term to the accused teacher, and a fine of Rs 2 thousand has also been slapped on him.
Additional district prosecution officer (ADPO) KK Gautam said that the coaching class teacher had committed the crime in 2019.

He also filmed an obscene video of the girl and then began blackmailing her to circulate it online.

The court, upon sifting through all the technical evidence and finding the tutor guilty, sentenced him to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment, along with a fine of Rs 2 thousand.
