NEW DELHI: A principal, who lured away a minor girl of his school and spent two days with her in Agra, has been sentenced to three-year rigorous imprisonment by a Delhi court for kidnapping her. Observing that the act of the accused had ``maligned the sanctity of teacher-disciple relation'', additional sessions judge Swarna Kanta awarded the punishment to Manoj Kumar Bhardwaj, who had taken away the 15-year-old student on the day of her tenth class exam. ``It is a terrible offence since a teacher is equated with God and is looked upon with awe and respect'', the court said. Though the prosecution could not establish the charge of rape, the court convicted him for kidnapping citing ``though she was taken away out of her legal guardianship with her consent, the girl was a minor and it amounted to kidnapping." -PTI
