The police have started the process to get a lookout circular (LOC) issued against the accomplice of the female teacher arrested for sexually assaulting one of her minor male students.

The accomplice, who is also a former teacher, is believed to be in London. She allegedly helped persuade the 16-year-old survivor to maintain physical relations with his teacher for over a year, the police said.

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old accused teacher's psychiatric test has prima facie revealed that she is of sound mind, said a police officer. The police made the teacher undergo a psychiatric evaluation so that she can’t claim in the future that she is mentally ill.
