Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a 13-year-old student of ninth standard delivered a baby in her school washroom.
The incident is reported in Madhapur in the information technology hub of Hyderabad.
The girl, who belongs to a tribal community, developed labour pains during a class. As she complained of stomach pain, the teacher who was taking the class asked her to go to the washroom.
Minutes later, the girl delivered a baby girl in the washroom. The school authorities informed the parents, who had no clue as to how she became pregnant.
Though the incident occurred on Saturday, it came to light on Monday. Both the minor girl and her daughter are safe.
No one among the 20-member school staff including 13 women teachers noticed that the girl was pregnant. The teachers said she used to cover the stomach with a scarf and while sitting on the bench, used to keep the bag in front of her.
The district education officer has ordered a probe.
After preliminary inquiry, the police have booked a case against Dinesh, a youth who used to accompany the girl to school.
