According to the prosecution, the mother of the victim, a resident of a village in the Babhani police station area, had informed in the complaint given to the Babhani police station that her 12-year-old daughter studies in class 5. She had gone to school on November 6, 2019. All the children went home after the school was over, but her daughter was stopped by the teacher Santosh Kumar Jaiswal. He raped her forcibly at around three o’clock. After this, he dropped the daughter home and left. He had forbidden the daughter to tell anyone. The victim told the whole incident to her mother while crying.
