BHOPAL: An NRI woman stunned Bhopal police on Friday night by alleging that her five-year-old daughter was raped by her school bus driver, an accomplice and a teacher last year. Giving gruesome details, she said how she found "scratches" on her body and suspects the rapists gave her “injections in the pelvic region”.She filed a complaint with IG Jaideep Prasad and went to Shahjehanabad police station on Friday night after which police registered a case against unidentified persons under IPC and POCSO Act. Police sent the child for medical investigations. Rape is not confirmed in her medical report, they say, but are digging deep because of the seriousness of the allegation. ASP-zone III Rajesh Bhadouria said the 29-year-old woman lives in a west Asian country while her daughter lives with her maternal grandparents in Bhopal and studies at a well known school. The NRI alleges that school bus driver and an accomplice started abusing her child in January 2017 and the torture lasted till March that year. She says her daughter was raped “after being given injections repeatedly and then stitched up”.The accused allegedly threatened the pre-schooler not to tell anyone about it or they would hurt her worse. The survivor allegedly informed her mother only in August 2017, and she went to Delhi Police.The woman alleges that the rapists showed the child pictures of her in a “vampire costume and looking like a witch”. “They couldn’t have done this without hacking my WhatsApp, Gmail and Facebook accounts,” she says, adding that her daughter has scratch marks on her back, hands and legs. She was tortured by a schoolteacher as well, she says. “After an event at school, my daughter fell ill. When I took her to the school bus after she got well, she started screaming on seeing the bus driver,” she says in her complaint, adding that the accused stalked her in Bhopal.ASP Bhadouria said the woman had filed a complaint with DIG Bhopal on November 2, 2017, via e-mail.The then DIG immediately formed a probe team under CSP Shahjehanabad but she asked police to drop the case, saying she wants Delhi Police to investigate it. Still, Bhopal Police investigated it and found no evidence to suggest the child was raped or sexually assaulted, said ASP Bhadouria, adding that the medical examination on Saturday showed no sign of rape or sexual assault either.
