JAIPUR: A seventeen-year-old girl has eloped with her 21-year-old lady teacher. The incident took place within the limits of Bikaner police station. The teacher belongs to the minority community. The relatives of the 17-year-old girl have alleged that the incident was an act of love jihad. The girl went missing on June 30.

The parents of the girl lodged a complaint with the police saying that their daughter had absconded with her teacher. They said that the girl was a minor and should be brought back. Some of the locals also came forward demanding the arrest of the teacher.

The girl, who went to school on June 30, did not return in the evening. Although the parents searched for her at the houses of her friends and relatives, they were not able to find her. Following this, they lodged a complaint with the police.

The preliminary conclusion of the police is that the girl and her teacher were in love for a long time and that they eloped together. "We have registered a case against the teacher for abducting the girl. The girl is a minor. Therefore, the teacher can be booked even if the girl says that she eloped with the teacher with full consent," the police said.
