Ghaziabad: Boys ‘rape’ Class 2 girl inside school washroom
Two minor students have been booked for allegedly raping a Class 2 girl of their school. The police have registered an FIR under sections of rape and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against the boys, students of Class 4 and 5. According to the complaint filed on Sunday by the girl’s parents, the boys inserted some object into the victim’s private parts on November 8. “The district magistrate had declared an off that day on account of rising pollution, but the message could not be conveyed to all the parents and students reached the school,” said Rakesh Kumar Singh, station house officer, Sahibabad. “The girl had to stay back as her parents got late in reaching the school to pick her up. The school authorities told the police that they kept calling the girl’s parents but they did not reach on time,” Singh said. “We also asked another girl, who had gone to the washroom with the victim. But she denied that the boys were inside the washroom,” the SHO said. Police said the parents had asked the school authorities to leave the girl with a school guard since they were getting late in reaching there. However, a teacher, who lives near the school, took the girl along with her, instead of leaving her with the guard. When the parents asked the girl about how she got injured, she told them about the incident, police said. “Once the medical report is out, we will be able to reach a conclusion on the nature of injury and the probable time when it was inflicted,” SHO Singh said. -PTC News
