MCD North Delhi orders inquiry into school rape case, culprit still at large
New Delhi: The North Delhi MCD on Friday evening ordered an
internal inquiry into the rape of a minor girl student at its Mangolpuri
school. The inquiry committee consists of four members and it has been
asked to submit a report at the earliest. The Delhi Police is on the
lookout for the suspect in the case. The seven-year-old girl student
reportedly told her family that she was gagged, tied and threatened not
to tell anybody about the incident.
She was raped by an unidentified man on Thursday during school
hours. The case came to light after the family reported the matter to
the police on Friday morning. A case was registered and medical
examination of the victim confirmed rape.
Meanwhile, an angry crowd gathered outside the hospital where the
girl had been admitted and damaged buses and pelted stones at the
police. Two policemen were injured in the violence.
Sources said that 10 protesters were detained and the police were
interrogating four staff members of the school, including a guard and
two male teachers.
"The victim was raped by a man inside the school campus on
Thursday. Her parents approached us on Friday morning and a case has
been registered. The victim could not tell us anything about the
attacker. We are investigating the case. We are questioning the male
staff, including teachers and a guard," a senior police official said.
The girl has been admitted to the Sanjay Gandhi hospital and
doctors say she is presently out of danger. However, she had suffered
internal bleeding.

The North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has
ordered an internal inquiry into the incident and has been asked to
submit a report.
The police have made no arrests yet but have detained a security guard and two male teachers of the school and are questioning them.
The girl was taken to hospital this morning, and doctors said she was in a stable condition, though traumatised. The police have sought the help of a non-government organisation to counsel the child as they try to get more details about the incident from her.
Expressing her shock at the incident, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has ordered better security and supervision in schools in the capital. She said, "The incident is inhuman and shameful. It is a shocking incident. The municipal corporation must strengthen their existing security infrastructure in the schools." (Read: Rape of minor is inhuman, shameful, says Sheila Dikshit)
There were widespread protests for days in Delhi after the brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old medical student in a moving bus in December last year, demanding better security for women in the national capital. The police have made promises since, the government has brought an Ordinance on new laws on sexual assault, but cases of rape and assault of women have continued with alarming regularity in Delhi.
