UP shocker: Class 12 student allegedly attacks teacher, cuts off her lips; Police probe on

A shocking attack on a female teacher in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, has triggered widespread outrage after she was allegedly assaulted in broad daylight by a Class 12 student. The teacher, who was on her way to take a private tuition class, was ambushed on the road and attacked with a sharp weapon. She is currently hospitalised, while police have registered an FIR and launched an investigation.

Teacher attacked on the road

According to police and local sources, the student allegedly blocked the teacher’s path in the Sadar Kotwali area and attacked her following a brief argument, cutting off both her lips before fleeing the scene. The woman was left severely injured and bleeding. She was initially taken to the district hospital and later referred to Agra for advanced treatment. Her condition is reported to be critical.

CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced, showing the accused stopping and forcibly restraining the teacher moments before the attack. The visuals have sparked anger online, with many questioning why earlier complaints of harassment were allegedly ignored.

An X user shared the CCTV clip and claimed the student had been stalking and harassing the teacher for a long time, the post captioned,"A Class 12 student bit off a female teacher's lips after she rejected his proposal. CCTV footage of this attack, which occurred while she was on her way to tuition, has surfaced, showing the accused attacking in a white shirt. The victim has been referred to Agra in serious condition, and the police have registered an FIR and begun an investigation."

FIR registered

Responding to the outrage, Mainpuri police confirmed on X that an FIR has been registered. “In the referenced case, an FIR has been registered, and further legal proceedings are underway,” police said in an official statement.

The case was filed based on a complaint lodged by the teacher’s brother. Efforts are underway to trace and arrest the accused, who is currently absconding.

Media reports suggest the student had allegedly harassed and molested the teacher earlier at her previous workplace. Although his behaviour reportedly improved briefly after complaints from her family, the harassment is said to have resumed. The teacher later changed schools, but the student allegedly continued to stalk her.

Police sources said the situation escalated into violence when the teacher strongly objected to his behaviour on the day of the attack. The incident has once again raised serious concerns over women’s safety and the handling of stalking and harassment complaints.
