New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a minor girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by two senior girl students at a school in the national capital.
According to a Zee News report, the incident took place at a government school in Moti Nagar area of New Delhi.
The victim is seven-year-old and is a student of class II.
The incident came to light when the girl told her parents about the torture that she has been going through at the hands of her seniors. Her father then approached the police and lodged a complaint against them.
The Delhi Police arrested two accused of the same school for assaulting the minor. A case under IPC sections 328 and 34 and the POCSO Act has been registered against them.
The victim alleged that her seniors, who are in classes VIII and IX, took her into empty classrooms during lunch breaks or when her classes ended and made her perform obscene acts.
"One of the accused is class IX student and is 19-year-old. She had failed several times and so remained in the same class," a police official told Zee News.
"The girls would make the victim take off her clothes and do obscene things to them. When she would refuse, they would threaten to harm her," he added.
The girl was sent for medical examination and is being counselled by a local NGO to help ease her trauma.
