HYDERABAD: In a shocking case, a 26-year-old woman teacher of Hyderabad allegedly eloped with a 10th class student of her school recently, in an attempt to pre-empt matrimonial trials by her parents. The incident reportedly happened on February 16 but came to light on Friday after the two returned home and the police counselled them.

The woman is a teacher at a private school in Chandanagar on the suburbs of Hyderabad and the boy, a resident of Gachibowli, is a 10th class student of the same school.
