The girl, a student of SD Senior Secondary school, had gone for her coaching classes at the residence of the teacher Sanjeev Kumar on June 17, they said.
After the classes got over, Sanjeev asked her to stay back. When all other students left, he bolted the door from inside and tried to rape the girl, who somehow managed to escape and reached her home, police said.
The victim did not disclose the incident to anyone for few days but eventually told her parents, who informed the matter to the school management committee and filed a police complaint.
