Noida, January 18: A bizarre incident has come to the fore from the city where a 22-year-old teacher who fell in love with a 16-year-old student, eloped with him. The boy's father registered a kidnapping complaint against the teacher. The complainant alleged that the teacher abducted his 16-year-old son, but, the neighbours claimed that the incident is eloping rather than a kidnapping.

According to the media reports, the 22-year-old educator ran a tuition centre at her home in the same vicinity as the complainant - sector 113. Reportedly, the 16-year-old allegedly used to go to the teacher's house to study. During the course, the duo became closer and started developing feelings for each other. On Sunday afternoon, the boy left his home at around 1:30 saying he is going to his aunt's house. However, he did not return until evening. Jharkhand Shocker: Woman Elopes with Minor Girl in Dhanbad, Case Registered.
