She told police the attacker was a stranger and not somebody she knew.

“We haven’t identified the assailant since the girl doesn’t recognise him. The other two girls who managed to escape from the toilet also haven’t given any leads about his identity,” a police officer said.

Counselors spoke to the girl, in a state of shock, for much of Friday.

Meanwhile, the victims’ relatives and neighbours protested outside the school and the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (northwest).
