Police in Navi Mumbai have arrested a teacher, aged 35, based on allegations of conducting a semi-nude video call with a minor student. The arrest was made after the boy’s father reported the incident, leading to charges under the stringent POCSO Act. Investigations reveal that the teacher had allegedly sent inappropriate messages over social media to the boy before the video calls occurred. The boy’s parents brought the matter to the police, citing the adverse impact on the boy’s mental health. The authorities have taken the teacher into custody and initiated a full investigation, including examining the teacher’s mobile phone and looking into potential previous instances of similar behavior. This case is reminiscent of a prior incident where a Mumbai teacher was arrested for sexually assaulting a student.
