In the second such instance in less than 10 days, a six-year-old girl was allegedly raped on Tuesday and Wednesday by a Hindi teacher on the campus of her private school in east Bangalore.

The 37-year-old faculty member, identified as Jaishankar , was picked up for questioning on Thursday. He is believed to have raped her in the boys' toilet. The second rape was committed around 3.30pm.

On Tuesday, when the class I student complained of irritation in her private parts, her mother thought it was an infection. On Wednesday evening, when she again complained of pain, the mother rushed her to a gynecologist, who confirmed the sexual assault but refused to give it in writing or help further with police procedures.

The mother, a housekeeping employee at a private firm, was shocked and didn't know how to react. She sent the girl to school on Thursday. At the woman's office, her colleagues saw her crying. When they asked her, she told them about the incident.

The colleagues tried to call the child helpline, but there was no response even after several calls. They finally managed to contact the Child Welfare Committee. The colleagues also got in touch with an NGO worker they know. The worker took the child to a government hospital.

Only a gynecologist and a pediatrician were on duty at the hospital. The doctors reportedly told the girl's mother that such a case required medical examination by a forensic expert. By then, CWC members had approached the jurisdictional Jeevan Bima Nagar police.

The girl's father, a cab driver, and mother took the girl to the police station around 3.30pm. The child identified the teacher by name. Based on this information, police detained the teacher. Around 9.40pm, police went to the school for investigation. The family was shocked as the accused had given tuitions to the girl's mother.


Additional commissioner of police (law & order) Alok Kumar said: "The girl told her mother she was abused on October 28 and 29. We're questioning the Hindi teacher based on initial investigation." Police sources said the girl was taken to Bowring Hospital and subjected to medical tests late on Thursday night.
