As many as nine teachers and the principal of a government school have been booked for allegedly gang-raping and molesting four students in Rajasthan’s Alwar district.
The incident came to light after the father of one of the victim asked as to why she was not going to school. The victim alleged that she was gang-raped by her school teachers and the principal for over a year. The victim is a class 10 student. She further alleged that two female teachers, cooperating with the male teachers, made videos of the act.
During the police investigation, three more victims — studying in Class 6, Class 4 and Class 3 — came forward and accused the principal and teachers of gangrape. The victims also said that the accused threatened to kill them if they told anyone about the incident.
Mandhana police station officer Mukesh Yadav said three different cases were registered in connection with the matter and that police are investigating the case.
When one of the victim complained the matter to a female teacher, the latter “lured” the girls, offering them to pay their fees and for their books. The teachers also asked them not to complain to anyone about the matter.
“After this, Madam took me to the house of three teachers — including that of the principal — several times. All the teachers consumed alcohol in the house. Later, they took off my clothes and did wrong things to me,” one of the victims was quoted as saying by India Today.
