Cops: Teacher said relationship was ‘beyond physical'
Mumbai: Police probing the alleged sexual assault on a 16-year-old student by a female teacher at a top city school have sought a detailed report from the administration to ascertain if the teacher resigned voluntarily or was compelled to do so, and whether the institution had prior knowledge of the alleged abuse, report Ahmed Ali & Hemali Chhapia. Sources said the alleged harassment began in Jan 2024, and the teacher quit in April the same year. School sources claimed they learned of the abuse only when she was arrested on Saturday. Police on Thursday conducted a psychiatric test on her to ascertain that she was mentally fit to commit the crime. Police on Thursday put the teacher, who has been accused of sexually harassing a minor male student, through a psychiatric test so that she does not take a stand in future that she was mentally unstable. They said the student was abused for over a year. The teacher was on Thursday produced before the special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) court, which sent her to judicial custody until July 16.

This friend, it has emerged, is the same doctor who prescribed the anti-anxiety medicines which the teacher gave to the student. Police have said that the teacher took the boy to five-star hotels, even got him drunk before the sexual assault and gave him anti-anxiety pills. Cops have started recording the statements of school officials and are gathering documents pertaining to the teacher's appointment until her resignation and the boy's stint in school. Police said the teacher joined the school in 2021 during the pandemic, when schooling was online. Before her stint at this institute, she had taught at another prominent school, said a senior teacher. Sources said she resigned from the school whose student was abused in April 2024, and no formal complaint was filed by any student or parent against her. Sources added that the teacher's husband's statement will also be recorded as part of the probe. Police said that the report of the psychiatric test conducted on the teacher was positive for her mental health. When police questioned her about the sexual abuse, she told them that her relationship was "beyond physical" and she continued to have the same feelings for the student, officers said. Meanwhile, the police said they might get a lookout circular issued if the accused doctor who prescribed the anti-anxiety pills fails to turn up for questioning. She has reportedly migrated to London. The school authorities said they are fully cooperating with police.

Federation slams arrests of four Muslim youths in Coimbatore by NIA
COIMBATORE: The Federation of Coimbatore District All Jamaaths and Islamic Organisations has condemned the arrests of four Muslim youths by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) after framing them in an ISIS radicalisation and recruitment case. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Federation coordinator Sultan Amir told reporters on Tuesday that the NIA was pressurising the Muslim youths to become approvers to strengthen their 'fake cases.' When the youths refused, the NIA arrested them and sent them to jail, he said. 'The NIA is functioning with the interest of the BJP, and the recent arrests of the Muslim youths by the NIA showed that the agency attempted to stamp the Muslim community as hubs of terrorism and targeted the Arabic colleges' operations in the state,' he said. The federation alleged that the arrests made on June 19 were politically motivated and based on false charges. The four youths -- Ahmed Ali, Jawahar Sadiq, Raja Abdullah alias 'Mac' Raja and Sheik Dawood -- were accused by the NIA of being radicalised by Jameel Basha, founder of Madras Arabic College, and of promoting extremist ideologies under the guise of Arabic instruction. The federation accused the NIA of aiming to defame the Arabic colleges in the state. The agency was misusing its power to intimidate the Muslim community, he said. The arrested youths' families, including Ahamed Ali's wife Asikka Parvin, Jaffar Sadiq's wife Balkis, and Mohammed Thalka's wife Amsath Beevi, along with a few others met reporters. They stated that the NIA arrested innocent Muslim youths in connection with the case. 'The NIA had been questioning them for more than two years and pestered them to become approvers of the case. When the Muslim youths refused to become approvers, the NIA immediately arrested them and portrayed them as working against the nation,' they said. The govt and secular political outfits should come forward to address the issue, said the federation.

Coimbatore Islamic Federation alleges NIA framed individuals in car blast case
The Coimbatore District Federation of All Jamaaths and allied Islamic organisations have condemned the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for arresting four individuals, alleging that they have been framed in connection with the Tamil Nadu ISIS radicalisation and recruitment case, an offshoot of the 2022 Coimbatore car blast. The federation alleged that the recent arrests made on June 19, 2025 were politically motivated and based on false charges. The four men, Ahmed Ali, Jawahar Sathik, Raja Abdullah alias 'Mac' Raja, and Sheik Dawood, were accused by the NIA of being radicalised by Jameel Basha, founder of Madras Arabic College, and of promoting extremist ideologies under the guise of Arabic instruction. Rejecting these claims, the federation accused the NIA of defaming Arabic colleges and madrasas and misusing investigative powers to intimidate the Muslim community. On Tuesday, Sultan Amir, a coordinator of the federation, told reporters the agency had pressured individuals to turn approvers and deliberately delayed bail proceedings. He alleged that the NIA was functioning in line with the interests of the BJP and that the recent arrests were part of a broader effort to stamp the Muslim community as hubs of terrorism and to target Arabic colleges operating across Tamil Nadu. The federation urged the Tamil Nadu government and secular political parties to break their silence and demand accountability. It also announced legal support for those arrested and efforts to raise public awareness about the issue.
