Jaipur: In a shocking incident, a Jaipur school principal brutally raped a girl for two days in a row on the school premises, while other children were out during recess.
The principal of a school in the Ramganj area reportedly called the minor into his room and raped her, muffling her screams with a cloth that he stuffed into her mouth.
For the student of Jaipur's Maharaja Public School, life has become a nightmare.
"Sir asked me to keep a bucket in his room, then he caught me and stuffed a cloth in my mouth so I could not scream. He shut the door and switched off the lights. He undo the drawstring of my salwar and then he hit me again and again," she said.
The principal, Ramesh Saini, even threatened to kill her, but the horror was too much for the girl to bear. When he raped her again the next day in school, she broke down.
As the news spread people in the area went on a rampage, attacking the accused. But other students from the school say the principal probably abused other children as well.
"We heard from junior students that girls were too scared to go to his office as he used to misbehave," one of the students said.
"He used to make them sit in his lap, he used to call them to his room on some pretext or the other either to clean the room or make tea," another student said.
The school has been running for 12 years, but what's surprising is that no one spoke up before; the children perhaps were too scared to speak and the parents complicit by trying to cover up.
