Alwar: Nine teachers and the principal of a government school were booked for allegedly raping and molesting four students in Rajasthan's Alwar district.
The incident came to light after the father of the victim asked why she wasn't going to school. The victim, a Class 10 student, then alleged that she was gangraped by her school principal and three other teachers for over a year. She also accused two women teachers of filming videos of the act.
Mandhana police station officer Mukesh Yadav said three different cases were registered in connection with the matter and that police are investigating the case.
During the police investigation, three more victims -- studying in Class 6, Class 4 and Class 3 -- came forward and accused the principal and teachers of gangrape. The victims also said that the accused threatened to kill them if they told anyone about the incident.
Following the probe, a case was registered by four students of the government school in Alwar against the school principal
and nine teachers. In their complaint, the victims accused the teachers of gangrape and molestation.
One of the victims told police that when they reported the matter to women teachers, the latter "lured" the girls, offering them to pay their fees and for their books. The teachers also asked them not to complain to anyone about the matter.
"After this, Madam took me to the house of three teachers -- including that of the principal -- several times. All the teachers consumed alcohol in the house. Later, they took off my clothes and did wrong things to me," one of the victims said.
Meanwhile, the father of one of the victims said that when he went to the school to complain to the teacher about the incident, the principal said that his brother is a minister.
"He told me if I complain, he will kill me," the father said.
Dismissing all the allegations, the principal said he had no information about any such case.
