Bengaluru: While the police claims to be doing a fair investigation into the rape of the six- year- old at Vibgyor High, Marathahalli, the faculty involved in hushing it up have still not been booked for complicity in the crime.
All the police did was arrest Rustom Kerawalla, the founder and chairman of the Vibgyor Group for attempting a cover-up, but he has since got bail. “We had ample evidence that he had come to the city on July 17 and put pressure on the school staff not to cooperate with the police. That was enough for us to book him for suppression of evidence,” says city police commissioner, M.N. Reddi.
But ask him when the principal or any other staff involved in hushing up the case, will be arrested and he says, “the investigation is underway and if we find any concrete evidence indicating that the principal or any other staff had a hand in hushing up the crime, they too will be taken to task.”
While the police searches for “evidence,” sources say the child was washed repeatedly after the rape and one of her teachers tried to console her as she ran amok in the school corridors complaining of stomach pain. The little girl reportedly told her parents that she was given some medical treatment and an injection by a nurse at the school which she continued to attend for three days after the ghastly incident.
