A 30-year-old flying instructor at an Institute of Pilot Training in Hyderabad, Telangana, has been accused of raping a female student and subjecting her to emotional manipulation, according to a complaint filed at the Begumpet police station.
The victim stated that the instructor gained her trust by presenting a “brotherly” relationship while they studied together at his residence in Brahmanwadi. On December 27, 2025, she alleged that he emotionally manipulated her into staying at his paying guest accommodation, citing personal distress, before forcibly having sexual intercourse and threatening her and her family if she reported the incident.
Following the alleged assault, the victim reported ongoing intimidation by the instructor, which compelled her to stop attending study sessions by March 1, 2026. She described the incident as “rape, emotional manipulation, criminal intimidation, and abuse of trust and authority by a person in the position of a teacher and brother figure.”
Begumpet Police have registered a case under sections 64(2)(f) and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and launched an investigation led by a Sub-Inspector. The complaint notes that the victim began her studies at the Institute in January 2025 and had also trained under another instructor considered a father figure. The victim alleged that the perpetrator's threats persisted even after he relocated to Dammaiguda, where she continued attending classes.
Authorities confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, with efforts to collect statements, digital evidence, and corroborative details to ensure proper legal action is taken. Police have appealed to anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in the inquiry.
