Mohit Tank, a 38-year-old mathematics teacher at government school in Rajkot has been arrested after repeatedly ass*ulting a 14-year-old student he taught in Classes 6 to 8. From January 2026 he threatened to fail her in mathematics if she resisted his advances. In January he took her to his home under the pretext of helping her get better marks, SAed her, and continued the abuse until the end of the academic year in April while repeating the same threats.
In September the girl told her mother what had happened. Her mother lodged a complaint with Rajkot police, who registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the POCSO Act. The teacher was arrested and investigators are collecting evidence, including CCTV footage.
