An 18-year-old student of Class XII was allegedly raped by the director and a teacher of her school for three-four months at Ajeetgarh, in Sikar district of Rajasthan, and was forced to undergo an abortion.

The accused, Jagdish Yadav and Jagat Singh Gujjar, are now absconding.

After her condition deteriorated following the abortion carried out at a private hospital in Shahpura, the girl was shifted to the Sawai Man Singh Government Hospital here last week.

The girl’s family stated in the complaint lodged with the police that the accused would call the victim to the school on the pretext of extra classes and sexually abuse her.

The police said that when the girl’s abortion was carried out last month, the two accused tricked the family members into believing that a surgery was being conducted for treatment of her stomach pain.

Neem-Ka-Thana Deputy Superintendent of Police Kushal Singh said on Monday that a case of gang-rape and causing miscarriage without the girl’s consent had been registered. The police have recorded the statement of two doctors at the hospital in Shahpura.
