Arrest and Charges
A teacher in Kerala's Kannur district has been arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a minor student repeatedly over a period of several years, according to reports from India Today and The Times of India. The accused has been identified as Mohammed Basheer (also spelled Muhammad Basheer), a native of Muthuvalloor (or Muthuvallur) in Malappuram district.
The arrest followed a complaint filed by the student, who alleged that the abuse began when the child was 11 years old and continued for two years, as reported by India Today. The Times of India, citing news agency ANI, reported that the alleged abuse took place repeatedly when the student was aged between 11 and 13. The accused allegedly threatened the child on several occasions to prevent the abuse from being disclosed, both outlets reported.
Police registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and other relevant sections of law, according to both India Today and The Times of India. The victim is a child residing within the Chokli police station limits, as reported by The Times of India.
Arrest and Court Proceedings
The arrest was carried out by a police team led by Sub-Inspector Rakesh, along with Senior Civil Police Officers Rajil and Sabeesh, with the assistance of the Tirur police team, as reported by both outlets. Basheer was produced before the Thalassery POCSO Court following his arrest. The court remanded him to Kannur Central Jail for 14 days, a detail confirmed by the Kannur City Police Commissioner, according to The Times of India.
The case is being investigated by Chokli Police under the provisions invoked following the student's complaint, as reported by India Today.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
