New Delhi : Delhi Police Sunday arrested an accomplice of schoolteacher Uma Khurana, who has been held for allegedly forcing students to act in pornographic films.
Veerendra Arora was arrested on charges of running a pornographic filmmaking racket along with Khurana, police said.
Following his arrest, Arora was produced in the court of the Sunday duty magistrate and was remanded to police custody for a day.
He will be produced before the metropolitan magistrate with jurisdiction over the Kamala Nagar Police station Monday for extension of his police remand for his custodial interrogation.
Meanwhile, Khurana was remanded to Tihar Jail under the judicial custody.
Khurana, a mathematics teacher with the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya at Asaf Ali Road in central Delhi, was arrested Friday after a local television news channel telecast a sting operation purportedly showing that she was running a syndicate of making pornographic films, featuring her present and former girl students.
She was also accused of forcing girl students into prostitution and was arrested for violating provisions of the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act.
The Delhi government also dismissed her Saturday from the service.
Following the telecast of the sting operation, hundreds of people had gathered outside the school and smashed windowpanes of the school building demanding immediate arrest of the teacher.
