Former director of a residential school was sentenced to ten years' rigorous imprisonment by a local court for raping a teenaged girl student several times in 2010.
The Fifth Additional MSJ (Mahila) Court judge Y Someshvar Rao also imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 on Mohammed Salahuddin Ayub under Section 376 (rape) of the IPC.
The court also found him guilty under Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC and sentenced him for two years.
The sentences will run concurrently, Additional Public Prosecutor Padmalatha Reddy said.
Ayub was arrested on July 22, 2010 for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old Class XI girl student from Mumbai. A chargesheet was filed by the CCS - a wing of the Hyderabad Police-- on September 24 that year.
The police had alleged that Ayub, who lived in a penthouse on the premises of the residential school at Manneguda (about 60 km from here) in the neighbouring Ranga Reddy district, had sexually assaulted the girl more than 20 times.
According to the police, Ayub sexually assaulted the minor girl in March 2010 after offering her a cool drink laced with some drug.
Allegedly, he raped her again at gunpoint at the same place a few days later, threatening to kill her and even harm her younger sister studying in the same school.
The girl told the police that he used to administer pills to her to prevent pregnancy and even took her to a doctor in the city.
Ayub, who is in judicial custody, also faces another case under Section 354 (outraging modesty of a woman) lodged by another student of the same school. The case is being heard by the Ranga Reddy court.
