Vadodara tuition teacher physically assaults 19-year-old MSU student, nabbed

A tuition teacher in Vadodara allegedly blackmailed a first-year student of Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU), Baroda, and allegedly assaulted her repeatedly by taking her to the Chapad village border.

After learning about the incident, a protest erupted outside Atladara police station, following which the police registered a complaint and arrested the tuition teacher.

The 19-year-old student, a resident of Padra, Vadodara, is in her first year of college. She was in contact with her former tuition teacher, Kasam Chauhan, from the past six months, who had taught her in Class 12. They frequently spoke over the phone.

In October 2024, the tuition teacher visited MSU and took her for a ride near Chhani.

In November, they planned to meet at Padra bus depot, where he took her to the Chapad village border. In an isolated place, he allegedly blackmailed her by showing photos from their previous meeting and then physically assaults her.

The assault took place multiple times over separate instances at the same place, as per reports.

Moreover, Chauhan also provided the girl with a contraceptive pill when she missed her periods for two months. He allegedly also made her perform a pregnancy test which turned out to be negative.

The incident came to light when the girl’s mother, concerned about her irregular menstrual cycle, talked to her.

Community leaders protested outside the Atladara Police Station following the incident. The police have arrested the tuition teacher and have initiated the further probe.
