Teacher booked for sexual assault of boy granted bail
Police arrested the woman on June 29 and booked her on charges, including Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The teacher, through her lawyers, Neeraj Yadav and Deepa Punjani, had submitted that her further custody was not required as police had already been given an opportunity to interrogate her. The detailed order of the court is yet to be made available.
According to the complaint given to the police, the woman tried to get close to the boy in December 2023, and that she took the help of her friend to contact the boy on her behalf. The allegations against her are that she took him in her car to an isolated place and sexually assaulted him, and later to five-star hotels in the city, where she made him consume alcohol before sexually assaulting him.
The woman said in her bail plea that the police wrongly claimed in the remand plea to seek her custody that she had confessed to the offences, and that the case is false and fabricated.

Bihar: ‘Cat Kumar' applies for residential certificate in Rohtas; FIR registered
After 'Dog Babu', 'Sonalika Tractor' and 'Donald Trump', yet another case of fake application has come to the fore in Bihar after the Rohtas district administration received a residential certificate request in the name of a cat. For representational purposes only. (AP) The person has sent an application under the name 'Cat Kumar', with 'Catty Boss' mentioned as the father and 'Catiya Devi' as the mother. A photo of a cat was also attached to the application, along with a phone number and an email address. Following the directives of Rohtas DM Udita Singh, Nasriganj revenue officer (RO) Kaushal Patel has filed an FIR under sections 132/61(b)/318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Nasriganj police station against unknown persons, and an investigation has been launched. Residents in the state are allowed to file online applications under the Bihar Right To Public Service (RTPS) Act, and each submitted application is assessed and issued by the official concerned after due verification. According to the FIR, the RTPS counter received an online application on July 27 with the mobile and email ID of the person who applied under the name. 'The act obstructed official work and appeared to be a conspiracy to tarnish the image of the government and public services. The name of the applicant, along with the listed father's and mother's names, are clearly false and intended as a mockery. The individual has attempted to ridicule the functioning of the government system by misusing the online platform, submitting fake details and a cat's photo,' the FIR stated. This bizarre application sparked a lot of laughter on social media, but a few users criticised it for wasting the time of officials. Also Read: After 'Dog Babu', 'Donald Trump' applies for Bihar residence certificate amid voter list revision, Opposition reacts The development comes just weeks after two similar fake applications were filed in the same week, one under the name of 'Dog Babu' in Patna and the other 'Sonalika Tractor' in East Champaran. Another application was submitted in Samastipur district recently under the name of US President Donald Trump; the request was made through the government portal from the Mohiuddinnagar block. The document included a photo of Trump and listed a local address in Hasanpur village. The fake applications prompted an investigation into the matter and resulted in two officials from Patna, who were overseeing the process, facing departmental action. The government has taken serious note of these developments, and is planning to tighten RTPS to scan every application more carefully.
