The Mumbai Police have detained a 55-year-old private tutor who is accused of abusing and raping a 16-year-old girl over the course of nine years.
Anil Pardeshi, the suspect, runs tuition sessions with his wife, who was unaware of his wrongdoing, the police claim.
The police claimed that the girl was initially molested when she was six years old.
The girl's father's faith and belief in the accused also allowed the accused to molest the girl for a prolonged period and prevented the girl from disclosing her experience to her family members, according to the police report.
The girl, who is originally from West Bengal, currently resides in Mumbai with her father and two siblings. Her mother and father are not together.
Over the course of nine years, the accused molested the girl virtually every day. He also forced the girl out of school by persuading her father that school is a terrible influence and might spoil his daughter out of fear that she might tell someone about her ordeal.
The girl, who is currently in Class 10, was only forced to pay tuition after being forced to drop out of school for the previous three years. The accused visited practically every day during the time period while her father was in Bengal on a business trip.
The girl's school pals eventually visited her to see how she was doing and inquired as to why she hadn't been going. The accused also yelled and cursed at her at her own home, as seen by the friends.
The girl told them about her years of sexual assault and torture when they questioned her about why she wasn't speaking out. They ultimately convinced her to inform her father and call the police.
After being charged at the LT Marg police station with the appropriate offenses under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the accused was later taken into custody and placed under arrest.
