7 JNV students held for sexual assault on Class 6 boy

Guwahati: Seven students of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Rangia (JNV-Rangia) in Assam's Kamrup district have been arrested following allegations of sexual assault on a Class VI student, police said on Saturday. The arrests were made after the school authorities filed a police complaint, leading to an FIR at Rangia police station. The accused, all minors from Class XI, have been sent to a juvenile home for 14 days by a juvenile court in Amingaon. Kamrup SP Ranjan Bhuyan said, "The sexual assault was going on for the last two to three months, involving senior students of the same school." Police said all seven students apprehended are from Class XI in JNV-Rangia, a residential school under the Union ministry of education. Rangia police station OC Nabajit Nath said the accused were apprehended from their homes following a complaint by the principal of JNV-Rangia. The victim's medical examination has been conducted, and further statements have been recorded by the police. Sources in JNV-Rangia said the accused students were sent home on Wednesday following an internal inquiry. "The victim was scared to tell us what happened to him. We tried to find out what happened but he was not ready to tell us. Then his guardians were called to the school and only then did the boy explain to his guardians in writing what happened to him. From that written piece, we came to know about the sexual assault," said a school official. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
