13 Girls Sexually Abused At Fake NCC Camp, Teachers, Authorities Arrested

A girl was sexually assaulted and at least a dozen others were sexually abused at what turned out to be a fake National Cadet Corps (NCC) camp in Tamil Nadu's Krishnagiri, police said on Monday. Eleven people, including the organiser of the so-called camp, the school's principal, two teachers and a correspondent have been arrested.
Investigations revealed that the private school had no NCC unit and a group approached the school management with the claim that hosting such a camp would qualify them for one, police said. The school failed to conduct background checks before hiring the group for the camp. As many as 41 students, including 17 girls, participated in the three-day camp held earlier this month.
