Overview
- The January 20 assault near Agra Road/Jyoti Tiraha left the 26-year-old teacher grievously injured after her lips were cut with a sharp object.
- An FIR based on the family’s complaint was registered on February 1, and the case cites BNS Sections 74, 118(2), 351(3) and 296, according to police.
- CCTV video that surfaced online this week appears to show the assailant stopping and restraining the teacher before the attack, intensifying public pressure for swift action.
- Police say the accused previously harassed and stalked the teacher for years despite a complaint raised with his mother during a parent‑teacher meeting, prompting the victim to change jobs.
- The victim was moved from the district hospital to a private facility in Agra for specialized treatment, while officers conduct raids to locate the absconding suspect; some reports name him as Akhand Pratap, 24, reflecting discrepancies in his identification.
