After almost a month after the rape of 16 year old girl Dehradoon Police arrested four minor boys on rape charges, and five members of the administration- the director, the principal, an administrative officer along with his wife, and a hostel caretaker-for destroying evidence on Monday.
The gangrape allegedly happened on August 14 after which a preliminary investigation was ordered by the Dehradun Senior Superintendent of Police Nivedita Kukreti after she received information.
“The girl did inform the school administration about the gangrape by the four boys and the pregnancy, but instead of informing the police and the family of the girl, the school administration gave her various medications to end the pregnancy. The school officials later took the girl to a nursing home for an abortion,” a police official said, adding to that the school administration had put “immense pressure on the girl so that she doesn’t tell anyone about the incident”.
An FIR was lodged against nine persons under sections 376 D (gang-rape), 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, a police official said.
