Headmaster, Nurse Among Six Held In Kishtwar Probe So Far
The arrests include the school headmaster accused of sexually exploiting the minor, his brother, a nurse at District Hospital Kishtwar and a daily-wage sanitation worker posted at the hospital. The government has suspended the teacher, while the sanitation worker has been dismissed from service.
ADVERTISEMENTAccording to police, the investigation found that the teacher, allegedly in conspiracy with his brother, administered medicines purportedly to terminate the girl's pregnancy. She was first taken to a public health centre in Chatroo and later shifted to District Hospital Kishtwar, allegedly with the involvement of the accused sanitation worker.
The girl subsequently delivered a stillborn and died on August 20. Police said the nurse's alleged role in the termination of the pregnancy subsequently emerged during the investigation, leading to her arrest.
ADVERTISEMENTThe SIT has said it is conducting a thorough, scientific and evidence-based investigation into the circumstances leading to the minor's death and the role of every person connected with the case. Further arrests will be made wherever warranted by evidence, police said.
