Pune: A tuition teacher has been booked by the Bharti Vidyapeeth police for allegedly committing obscene acts with a schoolgirl. The incident came to light after the victim confided in her mother, who subsequently filed a police complaint.

According to the police, the accused, aged 25, ran a private tuition class attended by the victim. He reportedly showed her obscene videos and threatened her with punishment for any academic mistakes before engaging in inappropriate behavior.
