A school teacher was arrested Monday here on charges of raping a Class 12 student and forcing her to abort her child, police said.
The wife of the teacher and two doctors who performed the abortion have also been arrested.
Officials told IANS that the teenager was taking tuition from a chemistry teacher who started sexually exploiting her.
