A woman was allegedly raped by her madrassa teacher in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district. The accused has now been booked on rape charges in Sheeshgarh area of the district on Sunday, October 10.
As per the complaint filed by the victim, she came to the madrassa four years ago, where the accused used to study with her. He later started teaching at the madrassa. The woman alleged that they fell in love with each other, Senior Superintendent of Police Rohit Singh Sajwan said.
However, she was raped by the accused multiple times on the pretext of marriage and was even forced to undergo abortion, The Indian Express reported.
"Subsequently, when the woman visited the house of the teacher, she was given death threat and asked to leave the place," the officer said.
Police said a case was registered against the teacher on Saturday, and the matter is underway.
