"Humiliated, the man asked the girl to meet him on Friday evening and took her to a deserted place. Following an altercation, he strangled her by hand and then used his belt to kill her," said SDPO (Karanjia) Nabakrushna Nayak.
The girl's body was found in a sack near a bush on Saturday, a few metres away from her house, he said.
During the investigation, the tutor was detained for questioning, Nayak said.
"The accused confessed to the crime during interrogation by the investigators. He was subsequently arrested," he said.
