Patna: Overcoming the violence that left her scarred early in life, the 15-year-old rape survivor from Nalanda, who was sexually assaulted by local RJD leader Raj Ballabh Yadav, secured first class in the recently held SSLC examination.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, the student secured total marks of 335 out of 500, amounting to 67% in the recently concluded Bihar state SSLC examination whose results were announced on Sunday.
She was provided the examination centre of her choice and the district authorities also arranged for her security at both home and school, where she was given a separate room to attend the examination. She was also provided home tuition by the authorities.
Family members of the girl who were initially unsure if she was in a position to write the tests, said that they were happy with her performance and expected her to do better in future.
Earlier in February, the 15-year-old alleged that she was taken to Yadav’s residence in Pathra, Nawada district, where she was raped by him.
The girl had identified the accused MLA when his photograph was shown to her and later she identified him in person also.
Yadav, who was absconding, surrendered to the police on March 10 after spending a month in hiding, and has since been in jail.
