JAIPUR: She kept silent for a month even after being allegedly gangraped by a vidhyarthi mitra, a teacher employed by the government to assist school dropouts, and four others at Vadiya village in Pali district.
Thanks to her parents and neighbours, who instilled courage in her to speak out against the heinous crime, she finally came out in the open.
The alleged rapists had reportedly told her to keep quiet or face dire consequences if she narrated her plight to the police.
However, late on Sunday evening, the girl lodged a case of abduction and rape against the teacher and his accomplices.
The teacher, Narendra Singh, knew the victim for several years and she had reportedly developed a liking for him. According to the police, the accused on April 26 took her to an isolated place where he and four others allegedly gangraped her.
After the incident, the girl's family was living in fear as the accused had threatened to kill them if they leaked out the incident.
Asked why the girl kept silent for more than a month, Sawai Singh, station house officer, Siviari police station, told TOI on Monday: "The alleged rapists had threatened to kill her along with family members and were also reportedly keeping a vigil on them. The family received threat calls four times a month. However, they mustered some courage after thorough discussions and on Sunday evening approached us."
