Police have arrested two gym
teachers at a posh private school in Bangalore on suspicion of
raping a six-year-old female student, Police Commissioner MN
Reddy said Tuesday at a news briefing.
The two suspects, identified by local media as Lalgiri
Indragiri, 21, and Wasim Pasha Moula Attara, 28, allegedly
locked the little girl in a room and abused her. The incident
came to light when the child complained of stomach pain to her
mother.
A third gym instructor was arrested earlier this month in
connection with the case, and was found in possession of child
pornography on his cell phone.
The incident at the elite Vibgyor High School sparked
violent protests by parents, who accused school authorities of
trying to hush up the rape.
The school re-opened Monday after being shut down for ten
days.
