Barmer, Rajasthan:
A private school teacher was today arrested for allegedly raping his minor student in Barmer district in Rajasthan, police said today.
The victim, a 15-year-old girl and a Class IX student, alleged that she was raped by her teacher Thakraram (30) on Thursday at an isolated place in Sheo town, police said.
The accused threatened to fail her in exam if she disclosed the incident to anyone, SHO Sheo Babu Lal said.
