A man in Bikaner has alleged that his minor daughter was raped by eight teachers, who also made a video of the act.
The alleged incident occurred in April 2015 and the FIR was registered on Friday after the girl’s father registered a complaint. “The FIR was lodged under Section 376-D [gangrape] of the IPC and relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences [POCSO] Act,” Nokha police station SHO Darjaram said.
Earlier, one of the teachers of the private school filed a case against four persons, including two co- usins of the girl, on March 20 for beating him up. Both the matters are being investigated, the SHO said.
