Agra police have arrested Nikhil, a friend of a former student, for the murder of mathematics teacher Om Prakash Yadav, also known as OP Yadav. The teacher’s body was found on 6 November at a coaching centre in Sector 3, Awas Vikas Colony, with nine stab wounds, seven from a sharp weapon. Police recovered the accused’s scooter and the knife used in the attack. Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Ravindra Kumar said the teacher had been blackmailing a former student using objectionable photos obtained from Snapchat. TV9 Hindi reports that the teacher sent explicit messages to the student, who then told her friend Nikhil. Amar Ujala reports that on 2 November, Nikhil confronted the teacher at the coaching centre, slit his throat, and wrote ‘OP Yadav Rapist’ on the blackboard before fleeing. The accused remains in custody and is being questioned.
