Imphal, September 04 2015 :
A forensic medicine doctor deposed before the Court as a prosecution witness during today's hearing of a rape case of a minor girl involving her tuition teacher.
The accused has been identified as Nongthombam Varun (35) s/o Achoubi of Urup Litan Makhong.
He was produced before the Court under FIR No 24 (12) 2014 WPS I/E under Section 376 (n) (f) and Section 4 of POCSO Act 2012 .
The Court later fixed September 10 as the date of next hearing of the case.
It may be mentioned that the alleged rape case came to light on December 11 last year after the girl refused to go to Varun's place for tuition despite repeated insistence from her parents.
The girl later revealed to her mother about repeated rape by her tuition teacher.
The girl also told her mother that Varun had threatened to kill her if she disclosed his beastly act to anybody.
Based on this revelation and further confirmation from the younger brother of the victim, her parents lodged a complaint at Porompat police station on December 9 last year.
The accused is now currently lodged in Manipur Central Jail, Sajiwa.
