Uttarakhand gangrape: Watching porn clip on phone instigated accused, say police

Of the four accused, three are minors. SSP Kukreti also said, “Ultrasound test results show that the girl is not pregnant. But the hostel caretaker and the wife of the school’s administrative officer had given her a homemade drink, ‘kadhaa’, to end a possible pregnancy. She was given other medications too; so may be the possible pregnancy got terminated by medications. But we are yet to probe it.”

A four-member special team, headed by SP (Crime) Lokeshwar Singh, has been formed to probe the case, Kukreti said.

In July this year, five boys aged between eight and 14 had allegedly gangraped an eight-year-old girl in a village in Dehradun’s Sahaspur area after watching porn on a mobile phone. According to the police, they called the victim, a neighbour, to the home of one of the boys and raped her.

The CBSE’s regional office and the Uttarakhand government have written to the CBSE headquarters in New Delhi recommending that the Board cancel affiliation to the boarding school where the gangrape occurred.
