A 13 year-old girl, resident of Zamzam Colony, was raped by her teacher after the school ended on Monday.

The girl told police that the teacher called her to the classroom where he overpowered her and raped her. He threatened her with dire consequences if she told her parents.

However, when the girl returned home she was in a bad condition and her parents asked her what had happened. She told them.

The girl’s father said that when he and his wife went to complain about the teacher to the principal, he threatened and humiliated them and told them to leave the school premises. They then filed a complaint with the Samundri police.

The Samundri SHO said that they had registered an FIR against the teacher and the principal and were waiting for the medical examination report. He said they were looking for them.
