The accused was arrested based on a complaint by the girl’s parents against him and a female school attendant. The case was registered under section 376 (rape) of the IPC and under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO).
Bhopal sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Kshitij Sharma said, “The house of the accused was illegally constructed. It was demolished on Tuesday evening.”
According to residents of the area, the accused lives with his parents, wife and two children.
Minister of state for school education (Independent Charge), Inder Singh Parmar, has ordered a probe into the school administration’s role in the matter.
“A probe committee, including additional director Rajiv Singh Tomar, district education officer Nitin Saxena and assistant director Kanak Prasad will investigate the matter. The team will look into the role of the school administration, especially to check what action was taken on the earlier complaints by the parents. The team will also probe whether the school is following the transport rules or not.”
I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice. A postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication, I also hold a diploma in sports journalism.
