The 13-year-old girl, allegedly gang-raped by eight of her school teachers, has been discharged from the PBM hospital in Bikaner. She was undergoing treatment there for blood cancer. Earlier, the medical test of the girl was conducted. Its report is expected to come in by later today or tomorrow morning.
The minor girl's father had alleged that his daughter was gang-raped by eight of her school teachers in 2015. Allegedly, a video was also made which was later used to threaten the girl into submission. The police has registered an FIR against the accused teachers and is probing the case. Following the filing of FIR, the accused teachers went missing.
However, earlier, another case was registered by a teacher against the girl's family members for assaulting him. The police has been investigating both the cases.
Rajasthan home minister raises doubts over allegation
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria has raised doubts over the allegation of gangrape of a minor girl by her school teachers.
Kataria, a senior leader in the state BJP, wondered why the girl did not make the gangrape allegation the same day.
Kataria stated, "On the 20th, case was filed by the organization against her father, other people that they indulged in manhandling. After that, on the 23rd, the girl's father levelled accusation against the organization's teachers, that two years back, in 2015, she was gangraped. Generally, even I am not able to understand if eight men raped and the girl does not come and inform the same day. Because I have experience of so many years, I can say, if even one man rapes a minor girl, she will get to know... even then , no issue. They have filed a case, we have formed a medical board. Medical board is currently investigating. After investigation, it will be known what kind of connection this case has with 2015 and whoever is at fault in that, will be acted against."
