Ahmedabad Police, on Tuesday arrested a tutor, Mayank Dikshit, on the charges of sexual assault and blackmailing his student. The assault started since 2016 but the victim remained tight-lipped for fear of the “videos being made viral.” Finally, the outraged family mustered the courage and lodged a complaint at Vastrapur PS.
Accused Mayank Dikshit had been associated with an Ahmedabad based prestigious Allen institute but was later sacked in 2018. He befriended his student and then made false promises of marriage to enter into sexual relations on multiple occasions. The “affair” went on till 2018, after which, Dikshit threatened his student not to get married to anyone else or he would upload the filmed acts.
The victim, realising that she has nothing to lose now, finally fed-up with the false promises of marriage, confided in her family last week. Based on the FIR, the police arrested the tutor.
