Mumbai Police have arrested a 40-year-old English teacher from an elite south-Mumbai school on charges of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old male student. The woman was taken into custody on 2 July under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Juvenile Justice Act after the boy’s parents lodged a formal complaint.

Investigators say the teacher began pursuing the student in January 2024, ultimately forcing him into sexual encounters at various locations, including five-star hotels, over a period of more than a year. According to the police report and witness statements cited in local media, she allegedly fed the teenager anti-anxiety pills, served him alcohol, and enlisted a female friend to pressure him when he resisted contact. The assaults were uncovered after the teacher attempted to reach the student through his domestic staff following his higher-secondary examinations, prompting the parents to approach authorities.

Police have registered a case of aggravated sexual assault and are questioning additional witnesses. The teacher remains in custody while investigators examine electronic evidence and hotel records; a magistrate is expected to consider her bail application later this week.
