NEW DELHI: A 16-year-old was allegedly raped at a school in MCD, the police said on Wednesday. According to officials, the family of contractual laborers stayed at the school that was closed for a few days. Further, the boy is also said to have entered the school with the intention of theft.
“On Tuesday, the parents left the school to collect their wages. The 16-year-old victim and her 18-year-old elder sister were alone. The complaint said that around 11.30 am, a boy broke into the school. He first committed a robbery and then picked up a knife from the kitchen before sexually assaulted the younger sister at knifepoint,” the FIR stated. The victim’s family reached out for help after the sisters shared their plight with the parents once they returned after collecting their wages.
Currently, the accused is said to be absconding. “We are on the lookout for the accused,” an officer said, adding that footage from several CCTV cameras have been extracted.
