Kendrapada, Nov 1 : National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought an Action Taken Report (ATR) from Jagatsinghpur District Collector and Superintendent on the alleged rape of a minor girl student by the father of her tutor.
Acting on a petition filed by Human Rights Activist Radhakanta Tripathy, the Rights body on Tuesday asked the District Collector and the SP to submit the ATR within four weeks.
Tripathy in his petition alleged that that one minor girl was allegedly raped by her tution teacher’s father, on October 23 last in Balitutha village under Kujanga police limits, of Jagatsinghpur district.
Nearly 15 to 20 students, including girls went to a lady teacher’s house at Balitutha for daily tuition. In the absence of the teacher, her father taught the students.
However, taking advantage of his daughter’s absence, prime accused Subash Muduli allegedly raped the minor girl, a Class VI student, at regular intervals. Muduli disclosed the complicity of his colleague Rabindra Das, 50, in the crime.
Tripathy said the horrible situation poses extreme violation of human rights.
He requested the NHRC for an independent and impartial investigation of the incident with legal action against the culprits and psycho social counseling with all rehabilitation measures to the victim and compensation to the victim.
The NHRC sent the copy of the Complaint to the DGP for information and to the Secretary of the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC), calling upon him to inform the date of cognizance, if any, taken at their end in the matter within four weeks.
