Gang rape of minor: Cops question 2 suspects, hold identification parade

BANGALORE: The horrific incident of the alleged gang rape of a six-year-old girl in an upmarket school in East Bangalore is turning grislier, as police piece together the traumatized child's statements and medical evidence.

The class I student was gang-raped by two staffers of the school, investigating officers said. The crime took place on the school campus during class hours, they added. The girl, daughter of a software engineer from Odisha, is undergoing treatment in hospital.

Police on Wednesday started the process of identifying the suspects in the gang rape. A gym instructor and a security guard were picked up, but a second identification parade is being held to confirm their involvement.

We have a tough job on hand. There are 27 gym instructors in the school. The two we have now are suspects. The girl is traumatized and we are trying to check with her as to who harmed her," said DCP (Southeast) TD Pawar, who is supervising the probe.

"We have interrogated the suspects. Their confessions will have to be corroborated by the child's statement. This is a tender age and we don't want to trouble the girl. The investigation is progressing slowly because of this. The case should be handled with sensitivity," an officer said.

The girl was allegedly raped in the forenoon of July 2. She didn't reveal anything to her parents immediately. Late last week, she complained of stomachache; when asked, she revealed the gruesome violence she had been through.

Police are yet to escalate the charges in the case. Police sources said charges have been filed under Section 376 (punishment for rape) and Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO), and they are yet to invoke Section 376 G (gang rape).

Sources said police have a sensitive task on hand. The survivor has to be spoken to in the presence of counsellors, as is mandatory under the POCSO Act.

"We are now sure about the involvement of the school staff, and the school will have to bear the vicarious liability as per provisions of the law. Soon after identifying the culprits who are employed by the school, we will take up another case against the school in whose custody parents leave their wards," an officer said.

The incident was brought to the notice of police only on Tuesday, and investigation commenced soon after, he added.
