A court here Friday sentenced a tuition teacher to three years' imprisonment for sexually assaulting a ten-year-old student. Pradeep Singh (30) was found guilty under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The victim, a Class 5 student, attended Singh's tuitions. In January 2015, the girl told her mother that Singh made her sit close to him and touched her inappropriately. He threatened to beat her if she told anybody about this, the girl said.
