"The police have arrested the teacher for sodomizing his 13-year-old student who was living inside the madrasa for study for the past several months," the ACP said.
"A complaint was lodged by the father of the student on Tuesday in which he alleged that the student was forced by the teacher to sleep with him in his room. The teacher had also threatened the boy of assault in case he revealed his activities to anyone else," he said.
On Monday, the traumatised boy somehow managed to narrate his ordeal to his father, who in turn approached the police and a case was lodged, leading to the teacher's arrest, Mr Verma added.
