INDORE: A shooting coach in Indore, Mohsin Khan, has been arrested after several female students and a former employee accused him of sexual exploitation at his private academy. At least one of them was a minor at the time of the alleged crime.
Police have set up a special probe team and are also looking at financial transactions to check if there is a bigger conspiracy. Mohsin Khan owns seven-eight firearms which police are trying to trace.
On Tuesday, a 20-year-old shooter approached Annapurna police station, accompanied by some right-wing activists, to file the first complaint against Khan. She was 16 years old when she joined Khan's academy in 2021 and trained for two years. He would touch her inappropriately under the pretext of coaching her, she alleged.
When she resisted, he allegedly threatened to throw her out of the academy. Traumatised, she eventually dropped out of the academy and remained silent for two years, she said.
She confided in her mother but still couldn't muster the courage to approach police for fear of social stigma. However, when she recently learnt that Khan was still allegedly engaging in inappropriate behaviour with students, she decided to file a complaint, says her FIR.
Khan was arrested under the Pocso Act and remanded in jail.
On Thursday, two more women - a 24-year-old former student and a 32-year-old former employee - also registered cases against Khan. "On the 24-year-old student's complaint, a case of rape has been registered against Khan. She claimed that the accused raped her while promising to help her build her sports career. When she got married, he threatened to tell her husband about their affair if she did not agree to meet him," said ACP Shivendu Joshi.
