A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a school van driver in Jamshedpur. The accused, Jai Shri Tiwari, was arrested by the police within 30 minutes of the incident.
The horrifying incident took place in Krishna Udyan, Jawahar Nagar, under the jurisdiction of the Mango police station. The victim, a nursery student, disclosed the details of the abuse to her mother on Saturday evening. The girl complained of pain in her private parts and lower abdomen upon returning from school.
When the mother checked, she noticed that the girl’s undergarments were undone. The child then revealed that the new van driver had undressed her and made her lie down in the van.
Initially, the van owner threatened the girl’s mother, asking her to forgive the driver’s actions as he was a relative and had come from the village. The threats were recorded on the mother’s phone, according to townpost, a local news media outlet.
Shocked by the revelation, the girl’s parents, with the help of local BJP leader Vikas Singh, reported the matter to the police.
The East Singhbhum City Superintendent of Police (SP) Rishab Garg, while talking to The Avenue Mail, said, “A complaint has been registered at the Mango police station. A senior female police officer has been appointed to investigate the case.”
After receiving the complaint, the Mango police station officer reached the victim’s house, gathered information, and arrested the accused within 30 minutes.
BJP leader Vikas Singh thanked the local administration for their swift action and emphasized that such heinous crimes deserve punishment determined by society rather than the courts.
A senior police officer stationed at the Mango Police Station, while speaking to Avenue Mail, said, “The girl has been sent for medical attention to MGM. We can provide details after we receive the medical reports.”
