protest against rape ddun

A 16 year old girl at a boarding school in Dehradun was raped by four boys. Girl became pregnant and complained, but instead of informing the police and the family of the girl, the school administration gave her pills to end pregnancy, and pressurised her to keep the incident to herself.

The school officials later took the girl to a nursing home for an abortion.

According to The Indian Express, “While the gangrape allegedly happened on August 14, a preliminary investigation in the case was ordered by the Dehradun Senior Superintendent of Police Nivedita Kukreti, on Sunday, after she received information about the incident.”

“Over a month after the alleged gangrape of a 16-year-old girl at a boarding school in Dehradun, police have arrested four minor boys on rape charges, and five members of the administration for destroying evidence. The four boys, and five members from the school administration – the director, the principal, an administrative officer along with his wife, and a hostel caretaker — all named in the FIR, were arrested Monday.”, reported The Indian Express.
