Gang rape survivor denied admission in schools because 'she would spoil the atmosphere on campus'
The girl was gang-raped on August 14, 2018, by her fellow students at a boarding school in Uttar Pradesh, India
Law enforcement authorities in Dehradun, India, revealed on Friday that a police complaint has been filed by the parents of a Class 10 student, who was gang-raped at a boarding school in the area, alleging that schools in the city are not granting admission to their daughter following the incident. The schools claimed that the reason for denying her admission into their institutions is that she would spoil the atmosphere on campus.
Senior Superintendent of Police Nivedita Kukreti said that, according to the complaint, the girl was denied admission in multiple schools approached by the embattled parents. She said that one of the schools blatantly denied her an entry on the ground that enrolling her would "spoil the atmosphere on campus".
