A case of sexual abuse of
minor girls at a government-aided residential school in
Beed district in Aurangabad has come to light, close on the heels of the alleged rape of tribal
girls at an ashramshala in
Buldhana.
A class VII girl from the school in Shirur taluka of Beed district, around 150km from Aurangabad, wrote to advocacy group, Lek Ladki Abhiyan, a few days ago complaining about a male teacher who allegedly forced the girls to bathe nude in the open in his presence and also made sexual advances at them at night.
The teacher is absconding.
The girl wrote to the Abhiyan after her parents pulled her out of school. She said these acts were going on for the past five months.
The Shirur police on Saturday night registered a case against the teacher under various sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 and 354 (A) of IPC.
