The Mumbai police have completed the mental and physical medical examinations of Bipasha Kumar, 40, a former teacher at Bombay Scottish School, Mahim, who is accused of luring a 16-year-old student for sexual intercourse. The POSCO court Thursday remanded her to judicial custody.
The Dadar Police registered a case on June 28 under sections 123, 351(2), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Act, along with sections 4, 6, 17 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and section 77 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.
Bipasha Kumar is accused of sexually exploiting the victim between January 24, 2024, and February 28, 2025, by taking him to three hotels – JW Marriott in Juhu, President Hotel in Vile Parle, and The Lalit Hotel, Sahar – and also in a car. She allegedly consumed alcohol herself and gave it to the complainant before the sexual acts.
The police are now attempting to apprehend her friend, a doctor, who is believed to have aided her in the crime. The doctor has been residing in the United Kingdom (UK) since last Diwali. The doctor is accused of counseling the boy, who was under stress due to sexual exploitation, to persuade him to have physical relations with Bipasha Kumar, and providing him with Daxid 50mg tablets to relieve stress.
After seizing and verifying the accused teacher's mobile phone, police are now interrogating the management of JW Marriott, President Hotel, and The Lalit Hotel to gather evidence. Police are also investigating clothes and regular gifts given to the boy by the accused teacher, as well as meals at expensive places.
