n the Indian city of Pune a teacher is arrested on account of writing a love letter to its 10 grade female student. The teacher also tried to entice the girl student by sending her five thousand rupees so she could buy gifts.
The Pune police has arrested the teacher after the court rejected his bail plea and gave him to Police custody till Dec 24.
Police sub-inspector Shivaji Darekar, the investigating officer in the case, said the letter was sent in the first week of December.

However, the girl received her book covered. When she opened the book, she found the letter and the cash. She read the letter and was shocked by its contents. Shingade had written in the letter that he loved her a lot and that it was impossible for him to teach when she was absent. He had written some 'shayari' (Urdu couplets) in the letter," he said.
Darekar said the letter also mentioned that the girl should tell her parents that she had found the Rs 5,000 on the road.
