Four minors were apprehended for allegedly sexually assaulting a fellow student at a government school for over two months in Northwest Delhi, said police. The case, the police said, came to light after a video of the alleged assault reached the principal.
“The victim was formally examined in the presence of his parents who alleged that he was subjected to repeated sexual assault over a period of two months by a schoolmate and his friends. The victim stated that he was unable to report the incidents sooner due to threats,” a police officer said.
The accused also made multiple videos of the incident and shared them with other students. Eventually it reached the principal, the police said.
“The victim further claimed that the accused had video-recorded the assault and shared the footage with his friends, which ultimately led to the discovery of the crime when the video was reportedly shared with a school teacher,” the police said.
