Police said Ravi Kumar had been assaulting the girl for the past few weeks and threatened her to not tell her parents. The girl, however, broke down on Sunday morning, following which her parents approached the police.

Kumar, who lived near the girl’s house, was arrested soon after and a case of rape registered against him. “He used to be a music teacher at a Delhi University college a few months ago,” a senior police officer said.

“He, however, quit his job and started giving tuitions. He was hired by the girl’s parents a few weeks ago,” the officer said.

On Saturday, the girl’s father, a businessman, was out for a meeting and her mother was on the ground floor. The girl was alone with Kumar on the first floor of the house. Kumar closed the room’s door and sexually assaulted her.

“The medical examination of the girl has confirmed sexual assault,” another investigator said.
