KANPUR: A 48-year-old government college teacher died after he was locked in a room and set on fire in the Panki area of Kanpur in the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh state, India.
The teacher, Dayaram, called his younger brother Anuj on phone and informed him that one Sanjeev and his aides had locked him in a room in the Patrasa village and set the room on fire.
Anuj rushed to the spot with police but by the time they could open the door, Dayaram had succumbed to burns.
“Charred body of the teacher was found in a room. His brother has accused four people of murder,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Vijay Dhul said.
Meanwhile, in another shocking incident, a 15-year-old Class XI girl student who was sexually assaulted by her neighbour, committed suicide after finding out that she was pregnant in Karnataka state.
