Mithun Chakravarty, a 31-year-old physics teacher in Coimbatore-based school and an alleged s*xual assaulter, had attempted to reason with the s*xually assaulted student who died by suicide, that his inappropriate behavior with her was a one-off incident in his spotless career and also used ways to manipulate her into submission, revealed a purported WhatsApp chat between them.
The 17-year-old girl on Thursday hanged herself in her house as she was yet to overcome the trauma of the s*xual abuse that took place in April last.
According to police sources, the ‘leaked’ WhatsApp chat between the accused and the victim, and an audio call have been added as evidence to the ongoing investigation. After the suicide of the victim and a huge protest by people for swift action, the police arrested Chakravarty. The police have also taken the school’s principal in custody to investigate the angle of the school’s complicity in the crime.
According to the WhatsApp chat seen by CNN-News18, the victim confronted the accused for his inappropriate behavior and also questioned him if he would do the same to others if his behavior is not called into question. The purported WhatsApp chat shows Chakravarty telling the victim that he was in the Covid-19 ward. Continuously, the victim goes after him, demanding that he reply to her messages.
