Mumbai: A Mumbai special court has sentenced a 30-year-old teacher to one year in jail for showing and masturbating a minor under the Pocso Act. The Arabic teacher showed the girl content on August 30, 2016, when the baby was only five years old. The baby was learning Arabic. His uncle had left 5:30 p.m. at a nearby mosque. When the girl's father returned home at 7 p.m., her mother asked her what she had learned today. What the girl said on it slipped the ground under her mother's feet.

The girl told her mother that the teacher showed her dirty pictures and that he had cleaned his private part after 'doing something.' The girl's mother then told her father about it and a case was registered at Chembur police station the next day. The police then took immediate action and arrested the teacher and seized his phone. After the chargesheet was filed, the man declared himself innocent and said that the girl's parents were not able to pay the fees, so he was being framed. He also alleged that the parents of the girl wanted the baby to be promoted to the next class. The girl's mother had termed the allegation as baseless and said that the accused and her husband and brother-in-law had an argument with jamaat over non-payment of fees during summer vacation.

The girl told the court that another student was sitting next to her bench at the time of the incident. The accused had asked her to do dirt. Special public prosecutor Geeta Sharma told the court that the content shown to the girl was obscene. The accused has not been able to give a valid reason as to why the parents of the girl will implicate her. He won't do it just for fees. Judge Bharti Kale then said there was no evidence that the victim had not deposited the fees. Jamaat also did not pressure the girl's mother to pay the fees. No mother will stake her baby's future for fees. The judge said such incidents adversely affect the education of girls. The judge then sentenced the Arabic teacher to one-year imprisonment and a fine of 10,000 rupees. Out of the 10,000 fine amount, 8,000 rupees were ordered to be paid to the aggrieved party as compensation.
