Jaipur, Mar 11: A 19-year-old girl attending coaching classes for medical entrance exams in Kota was gang-raped in front of her male friend by two former jawans of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary.

The girl had gone on a bike ride with her friend when the two accused, posing as policemen, stopped them on Friday evening and took them to an isolated place in Kota's Dadabari area. They raped the girl under a tree and severely beat up the friend when he protested. While one of the accused was arrested on Saturday, the other is still on the run.

The girl and her friend both live in rented accommodations in Kota. The friend also takes medical coaching classes in Kota's Talbandi area.

The two accused, identified as Mohan Singh and Jai Kumar, are in their mid-thirties and residents of Talbandi and Shivpura areas in Kota respectively. They were expelled nearly 10 years ago from RAC following involvement in robbery cases.

"The girl and the boy were roaming around on a bike on Rawatbhata Road at around 8.30pm on Friday. Mohan and Jai Kumar who were on a white bike similar to the kind used by the police overtook the couple and stopped them," said Additional SP, Kota, Laxman Guar.

The two men first asked the boy and the girl what they were doing in that isolated area after dark. "When the boy said that they were just hanging around, one of the two men asked for the bike's registration papers. When the boy said he did not have them with him, the duo said that their bike would be seized and they would have to come to the nearby police outpost," said the officer.

The officer said Jai Kumar forced the girl and the boy to sit on his bike, while Mohan drove the boy's bike. "Jai Kumar took the girl and the boy to an isolated place. Mohan also reached there on the boy's bike. They then started misbehaving with the girl and then raped her," said the officer.

The boy pleaded with them and even offered them Rs 3,000 which he had on him, the police officer said adding that the boy promised to get more money if they left the girl alone.

"However, the two men ignored his pleas and took turns at raping the girl. In the dense forest area nobody heard the girl's cries for help," said the officer.

They left the girl and the boy there and fled after the rape. "The girl went to the Dadabari police station with her friend and lodged an FIR. One of the policemen at the police station managed to identify one of the culprits as Jai Kumar. The white-coloured motorcycle used by Jai Kumar also matched the description given by the victim," said the officer.

A police team was sent to Kumar's house. "However, he escaped after jumping over the boundary wall at the rear of his house. We arrested Mohan Singh on Saturday. A massive search has been launched for Jai Kumar," said the officer.

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.
