On Wednesday, parents of a 10-year-old student in Assam’s Hailakandi district filed a First Information Report (FIR) accusing a 65-year-old retired teacher of allegedly sexually assaulting their son. The parents said that the boy had refused to attend the teacher’s coaching classes, and when they asked why, he showed them a video he had recorded of the assault.

The family went to confront the teacher, but he denied the allegations and absconded. Police have registered a case against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and are investigating the matter. Officers are attempting to locate the accused teacher by tracing his phone and questioning his family members.
The boy’s statement has been recorded and the video evidence collected. Locals expressed concern about the incident, and a group of people visited the police station to appeal for a thorough investigation. They highlighted the seriousness of the issue and called for strict action to be taken against the accused in order to set an example.
