A serious allegation of sexual exploitation has emerged from Sherghati, Gaya district, where a coaching institute director is accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old minor student. The incident came to light after the student was found to be pregnant.

The victim's family filed a complaint at Sherghati police station on Thursday. According to the mother's application, her daughter, who attended the coaching center, was lured by the director with promises of marriage and subjected to sexual exploitation over a long period. Initially, fear prevented the student from disclosing the abuse to her family.

The matter came to light when the student experienced abdominal pain, prompting her mother to arrange an ultrasound. The ultrasound report confirmed her pregnancy, shocking the family. When confronted by the family, the accused allegedly used casteist slurs, verbally abused them, and then shut down the coaching center before fleeing.

The accused has been identified as a resident of Mohandih-Imaliyachak village, under the Amas police station area. Sherghati Station House Officer Pramod Kumar stated that a complaint regarding the sexual exploitation of a minor has been received, and the police are investigating the matter based on the application. Further legal action will be taken following the investigation.
