Class V boys rape child after watching video

February 6, 2017

Patna, Feb 6: Two teenagers, both aged 13 and students of Class V, were apprehended by the Kishanganj police after they were charged with gang-raping a minor girl.

childrapeThe 5-year-old victim is said to be their neighbour in Kishanganj, around 425 km from the state capital.

Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Kamini Bala, said the girl was sent for a medical examination after an FIR was lodged by the victim’s mother.

Both the accused, who have confessed to their crime, were produced before the local juvenile court on Saturday, which, in turn, ordered they be kept at a remand home.

Since Kishanganj does not have a remand home, the two boys were sent to a remand home in Purnia.

Kishanganj Superintendent of Police (SP), Rajiv Mishra, said the two boys lured the girl on the pretext of giving her chocolates, took her to an abandoned lavatory and raped her. When the parents of the girl did not find her in the house, they went in search of her.

Eventually, the minor girl was found lying in a pool of blood in the lavatory.

“Prima facie, the charges against the two boys appear to be true,” said the SP, who has asked the Station House Officer (SHO) of the women’s police station, Mahashweta, to submit a charge sheet against the accused in the next 48 hours.

The SHO said the accused told the interrogators that they committed the crime after watching an obscene video clip on mobile phone.

The police have also arrested the parents of the two accused as they had beaten up the girl’s parents for lodging a case against the boys.

The West Bengal government has suspended two women teachers in East Burdwan district on the charge of teaching pre-primary students from an English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to the people with a dark complexion.

While presenting the alphabets with corresponding words and images, the book says U is for "Ugly". The illustration printed beside the letter is that of a boy with a dark complexion.

"The book is not part of the textbooks referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero-tolerance for acts which instil prejudices into the minds of students," Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters here on Thursday.

He said the two teachers of a local municipality-run school have been placed under suspension with immediate effect based on a preliminary investigation and stricter action would be taken against them later.

Though the school is now closed because of the lockdown, the matter came to light when the father of a student of the school was teaching him with the help of that book. He informed other parents and the education department was apprised of the issue, sources said.
