Kerala police on Sunday (September 19) said they have arrested a 29-year-old private school teacher in connection with the death of a minor girl student by suicide. The teacher was nabbed in Mumbai by a team after searching for him in Karnataka and Maharashtra with the help of the cyber cell, a senior police officer said.

The accused was brought here today and arrested after being questioned, the officer said. A case was registered against the teacher under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Juvenile Justice Act days after the 12-year-old girl died by suicide.
