<![CDATA[According to reports, a 16-year-old girl studying at a boarding school in Dehradun was allegedly gang-raped by four other students of the same school. The four boys and five school officials, including the principal, have been arrested in connection with the case. Station House officer Naresh Rathod told that the arrested boys would be presented before a juvenile court on Tuesday while the school officials will also be presented before a court on the same day. The matter came to light only on Sunday after the girl revealed about the incident to her sister, though it happened last month. The sisters stayed together in the boarding school and had rare visits from their parents. She also told her sister that she was one-month pregnant. Following this, the school allegedly tried to suppress the matter. However on Sunday, a team of the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (USCPCR) led by chairperson Usha Negi met the girl and an FIR was registered on its direction. Negi told that medicated drinks were given to the girl by the administrator and his wife to terminate the pregnancy. She added that the "girl was also taken to a nursing home for abortion by school officials".]]>
