The 34 girls from a government school in Supaul have been admitted to a primary health care centre for treatment in Triveniganj
Bihar: Over 30 schoolgirls in Bihar's Supaul district were beaten up by goons after the girls resisted their sexual advances.
The 34 girls from a government school in Supaul have been admitted to a primary health care center for treatment in Triveniganj.
Some students of Kasturba Residential School caught a group of boys who tried to sneak in and eventually asked them to leave. The boys then misbehaved with the girls, after which the girls beat up the miscreants in self-defense.
The boys later returned and thrashed the group of girls, many of whom suffered injuries. The school property was also vandalised as the miscreants wrote lewd messages on the walls.
Nine people have been arrested following the registration of an FIR.
“Both the schools are in the same campus with separate buildings and a common playground. The boys allegedly wrote some lewd comments on the wall of the girls’ school, which the minor girls resisted and beat up the boys before chasing them away,” Supaul District Magistrate Baidyanath Yadav was quoted as saying by PTI.
20 girls were released after they were administered first-aid at the hospital and the remaining 10 are still undergoing treatment and will be released in a few days, Yadav said.
Earlier this year, at least 34 girls in a government-funded shelter home in Muzaffarpur complained that they were raped on multiple occasions.
