  • Victim in critical condition after brutal assault; accused remains absconding
  • Police have registered an FIR and launched a search for the suspect

A shocking incident in Uttar PradeshтАЩs Mainpuri district has triggered outrage after a female teacher was brutally attacked in broad daylight, allegedly by a Class 12 student who had been stalking her for months.

The assault occurred in the Sadar Kotwali area while the teacher was on her way to conduct a private tuition class.

According to a report in FPJ┬аciting police and local sources, the accused allegedly stopped the teacher on the road, blocked her path, and, following a brief confrontation, attacked her with a sharp weapon, severing both her lips before fleeing the scene.

The woman was left bleeding profusely and was first rushed to the district hospital before being referred to Agra for advanced treatment. Her condition is reported to be critical.

CCTV footage of the attack has surfaced online, showing the student intercepting and restraining the teacher moments before the assault. The visuals have sparked widespread anger on social media, with users questioning alleged inaction despite earlier complaints of harassment.

An X user who shared the clip claimed the accused had been stalking and harassing the teacher for a prolonged period, even after she changed schools and routes. The post demanded swift arrest and strict legal action.

Responding to the online uproar, Mainpuri police confirmed that an FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the law based on a complaint filed by the teacherтАЩs brother. Officials said an investigation is underway and teams have been deployed to trace the accused, who remains absconding.

Preliminary information suggests the student had allegedly molested and harassed the teacher at her previous workplace as well.

Despite earlier complaints from the family and a temporary improvement in behaviour, the alleged stalking continued even after the teacher joined another institution.

Police sources said the attack occurred after the teacher strongly objected to his conduct on the day of the incident.
