Police have arrested hostel warden of an engineering institute here for allegedly sodomizing a student, an official said Thursday.
Based on a complaint filed by the victim, an FIR was registered against Avinash Rai, said Deputy Superintendent of Police Dharmendra Chauhan.
According to the complaint, Rai called the victim, a native of Allahabad, in his room on Wednesday and sexually assaulted him.
When the victim tried to stop him, the accused threatened to expel him from the hostel, Chauhan said.
