A shocking incident has emerged from Gujarat’s Sabarkantha district, where a schoolteacher allegedly raped a 10th-grade student under the pretext of celebrating his birthday. According to reports, the accused lured the girl to a hotel, where he committed the heinous crime.
The incident occurred just days after the student received widespread appreciation for delivering a speech on ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.’ Despite the trauma, the brave girl has not allowed the incident to affect her academic focus and is determined to excel in her upcoming board examinations.
The accused teacher reportedly called the student to a hotel on February 7, using his birthday as an excuse. Once there, he sexually assaulted her and later threatened to fail her in board exams if she disclosed the crime to anyone. Fearing repercussions, the girl remained silent initially but eventually confided in her family.
Following the incident, the student has been staying with her paternal aunt, who has two daughters also preparing for their exams. The family has chosen to shield her from unnecessary attention to ensure she remains focused on her studies.
Despite the traumatic experience, the young girl has shown remarkable resilience. Aiming to become a police officer, she continues to concentrate on her education with unwavering determination.
Her uncle stated, "We are proud of her courage. We will support her in every possible way. We believe in the power of education and want to secure a better future for the next generation."
Authorities have taken strict action against the accused, and legal proceedings are underway. Meanwhile, the student’s resolve to rise above this tragedy has inspired many.
