Rajkot: The 30-year-old hostel rector cum sports and general knowledge teacher at a residential school in Amreli district, who was arrested on Wednesday for sodomizing a 12-year-old boy, has now been accused of sodomizing a 15-year-old boy.
On Feb 13, the father of the 15-year-old boy also lodged a complaint against the teacher at Vanda police station in Savarkundla taluka. The FIR alleges that the rector sodomized the boy multiple times between Oct 1, 2024, and Jan 25, 2025, inside the hostel.
He had summoned the boy to his room, where he allegedly beat him and then sodomized him. The accused threatened to kill the victim if he told anybody about the crime.
Police had arrested the teacher on Wednesday, based on the complaint lodged by the 12-year-old boy’s father.
The school, an English-medium one, is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), according to police sources.
Amreli district superintendent of police Sanjay Kharat told TOI that the police have seized the accused’s mobile phone as part of the investigation. “The police will examine the browsing history of the accused’s phone, as it is suspected that he might have a habit of watching pornographic videos. Additionally, certain items have been seized from his room and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for testing. Further details will become clear once the FSL report is received.”
On Thursday, Kharat visited the school and the hostel to gather more information about the teacher. The police have also appealed to the parents to report if their wards have endured similar assaults by the accused teacher.
