Bengaluru: School owner, wife, principal arrested for alleged rape of Class 8 student
Bengaluru: The owner of a private residential school in Devanahalli, his wife and the principal of the school have been arrested under charge of rape of a 14-year-old girl who was studying in Class 8 in the school.
While 600 children study from Class 1 to 10 in the school, 150 of them are learned to be girls.
The rape victim and her parents reportedly filed a police complaint on Friday, accusing the school owner of sexually assaulting her. They also accused the owner’s wife and the principal of the school of failing to intervene.
The complainant has reportedly told the police that she was raped repeatedly for eight days. She added that when she approached the owner’s wife and the school principal to get their help, they allegedly brushed the matter aside, saying such incidents were common ‘in current days’. Both of them, however, told her not to divulge the matter to anyone, the girl is learned to have said in her complaint.
She reportedly has told her parents that the owner, who had been in a drunken state, told her to come to the warden’s office at night. He took her to a room and raped her, she added. Unable to bear the torture, she is learned to have informed her parents.
Based on their complaint, a rape case was registered against the school owner, and an abetment case against his wife and the school principal.
Police sources have said that information is being gathered from other students of the school if more such incidents have occurred in the school.
