Dehradun: 4 students held for alleged gang-rape of classmate in school
Four students allegedly raped a 16-year-old student at a Dehradun boarding school last month (on August 14), police said on Monday.
Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Nivedita Kureti was tipped-off about the alleged rape and so he ordered an investigation.
The school’s director, principal, administration officer, his wife and hostel caretaker were arrested for alleged destruction of evidence. A gang-rape and destruction of evidence case has been filed under the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
“The incident happened on August 14… the girl was raped by the four boys studying in the same residential school. SSP, Dehradun, Nivedita Kureti, got a tip-off about the incident and ordered us to investigate the matter… the charges were found to be true,” said station house officer Naresh Rathod.
“She is from outside the state. The arrested boys will be presented before a juvenile court on Tuesday while the school officials will also be presented before a court on the same day.”
