Vasco: In a shocking incident, a 7-year-old girl studying in class II was allegedly raped in the toilet of a school in Vasco on Monday. Medical examination has confirmed penetration in her private parts, sources said.
Police said the incident took place at recess time. Sources said that at about 10.45am students came out of class for the recess. While most of the students went out to play, the victim did not join them as she had an injury.
At that time, a boy suspected to be in his early 20s was noticed in the school premises. It was later revealed that he went towards the girls' toilet and called the girl who was nearby and took her to the toilet. He made her sit on the commode and allegedly raped her.
Sources said that after recess as teachers returned to classes, one of the teachers saw the accused along with the girl. Sources said the principal also questioned the boy and he told her he had come to meet a student.
The girl returned to the class after recess and complained to her teacher of pain and of being "pinched". The matter was referred to the principal who enquired into the matter along with other teachers. Immediately, phone calls were made to the girl's parents. After the parents arrived and spoke to the girl, the matter was referred to the police around 1.30pm.
Based on the description provided by the teacher and principal a sketch of the accused was drawn by the police.
The school principal was detained by police in the evening for negligence in handling the matter.
The girl was taken for a medical examination at 6:15pm almost seven hours after the incident occurred. She was examined by a panel of two doctors in the presence of a lady doctor.
There are two gates to the school and the front one was guarded by CISF personnel. The rapist is learnt to have jumped over the fence to get into the school premises.
CISF officials in Vasco said, "It is very surprising that the incident has happened in the premise of the school near the principal's cabin and that too during working hours. We have one CISF guardat the entrance of the higher secondary gate who monitors entry. What happens in the school building is the responsibility of the school staff."
The school will remain closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, sources said.
