A 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped by teacher Hari Narain at Kasturba Gandhi residential school under Fatehpur Chaurasi police station area of Unnao.

According to the FIR lodged yesterday by the father of the victim, a class VI student, the incident came to light earlier this month when she took ill after the teacher and another employee of the school tried to get her aborted.

 

The girl was found to be two and a half month pregnant, sources said adding that the teacher, identified as Harnarian and cook, Anuradha were been arrested.

The Commission, Chairman Justice (retired) Vishnu Sahai observed that it was distressing and shocking that a teacher who was expected to act like a guardian/father vis-a-vis the victim raped her in such a depraved manner.
