Bikaner: Police on Thursday arrested the female teacher who allegedly abducted a 17-year-old school student, a day after the two were tracked down in Chennai, officials said.

The duo had disappeared on Saturday triggering protests in Sri Dungargarh town of Bikaner district with minor girl’s family members terming it case of “love jihad”.

“The teacher was arrested today and produced before a court. The other accused in case are yet to be interrogated,” Dungargarh SHO Ashok Bishnoi told media.

Based on the girl’s statement, police booked the teacher under sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, IPC sections 363 and 366 both related to kidnapping and IPC Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) against the 21-year-old teacher of the alleged victim.
