A 10-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a student at a private school here, police said on Friday. The incident occurred inside the toilet of the school on December 5, police said. According to police, her parents lodged a complaint on December 12, after she told them about the incident and her medical examination confirmed that she had been raped.

"The girl was raped by a student, who is yet to be identified, inside the toilet of the school during the study hours," Panagar police station in-charge R K Soni said.

"In her complaint, the minor told the police that when she went to the toilet, she saw a male student of her school waiting there. He immediately gagged her and sexually assaulted her there," he added.

The accused also threatened her against speaking about the incident to anyone, the officer said.

"Due the incident, the minor went into a shock. She did not tell her parents about it. But as she suffered from some health issues two days later, she told them about what happened with her at the school," Soni said.

After that, her parents took her to a hospital, where doctors confirmed that she had been raped, he added. Meanwhile, a police team visited the victim's school on Friday to investigate the case.

"We questioned the principal, teachers and staffers of the school, where around 1,100 students study. We are going through the CCTV footage to identify the accused," Soni added.

A case has been booked under the IPC sections and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, he said.
