Rahul Sarangle, a 24-year-old computer teacher, bombarded his 17-year-old student with lewd messages, saying he will make sure she clears her exams if she sleeps with him
A lecturer of a reputed Goregaon college asked his 17-year-oldstudent from Std XII to have sex with him, and flooded her with lewd SMSes, to "test her character".
While Rahul Sarangle, 24, who teaches computer hardware at L S Patkar College of Arts and Science in Goregaon (W), claims he meant no offence, his victim is traumatised after receiving a series of SMSes, some of which read: "You are gonna gimme love..." and "You dnt know how to sex No police complaint has been filed, but college authorities are aware of the incident.
The girl's ordeal began on June 11, when the results showed she had failed in physics and barely passed computer science. She told Mumbai Mirror, "I sent an SMS to Sarangle sir, asking where did I go wrong.
In physics and computer science, 20 and 100 marks respectively are set aside for practical exams. I couldn't have scored so low. Sarangle sir's replies shocked me, humiliated and embarrassed me."

The girl alleges that in a series of SMSes, the lecturer asked her whether she watched po*n, and whether she'd had sex. "When I SMSed him back, asking him what he meant by such talk, he replied (sic), 'Ur nt experienced? but at least kuch idea rahega... frm po*n'. I deleted the initial few messages, but when they got worse, I decided to expose him," the girl said.
Sarangle has a reputation of being a livewire on the campus, and communicates with his students on Facebook. In his SMSes to the girl, he boasted of his sexual encounters.
The girl said, "In one message, he talked about sleeping with other students, who later scored good grades. Then he mentions an engineering student from Kandivli, who scored well only because she slept with him."
On another occasion, Sarangle messaged the girl saying a student had sex with him because "she loves me and my teaching style, and I made her a topper in the engineering stream," the victim alleged.
Sarangle was totally unfazed by the allegations; in fact, he didn't even deny them. He said, "I just wanted to test her character. I had heard she was a good student, and was shocked at her low grades." He even went on to say that he will "convince" his colleagues about the girl's character. "Now, I am assured. I can convince other professors that she is a good girl, and she might get the necessary marks in subjects that she flunked," he said.
The lecturer's victim said she will not rest till he is punished. "Just imagine my horror... a lecturer talking dirty to me. I have decided to expose him. He is a blot on the education system and should be thrown out of the college. I approached a senior lecturer, and told him everything. But I couldn't meet the principal," she said.
The senior lecturer, whose name is being withheld, washed his hands off the incident. "The girl did talk to me about the SMSes, but I told her to speak to the principal. I have nothing to do with all this," he said.
The college reopens today. Patkar College Principal M B Kekare said, "I am shocked, can't believe a lecturer from my college would stoop so low. A committee will investigate the allegations, the college management will take a call on the lecturer. We may suspend him. There are 6,000 students on the campus, and 200 professors. I don't know Sarangle, but it's a question of our credibility, and we will take appropriate action against him."
