Jharkhand news: A 30-year-old school van driver has been arrested for allegedly raping a nursery student in Jharkhand's East Singhbhum district, a senior police officer said today (August 11). The incident happened in the city's Mango area on Friday (August 9).
A special police team arrested the accused Jaishree Tiwary, a resident of Daiguttu under the jurisdiction of the Mango police station, within three hours after an FIR was registered by the victim's mother on Saturday, the Superintendent of Police (City & Rural) Rishava Gard said in a press conference.
The SP said a medical checkup of the three-and-a-half-year-old victim was carried out, and the accused driver was forwarded to judicial custody on Sunday. After coming back home from school on Friday, the minor victim complained of stomach pain and narrated how her school driver committed the heinous crime.
A lady police officer was sent to the victim's house to gather details of the incident before the driver was nabbed. The school van has been impounded, the SP said, adding that the police have taken the incident seriously and assured the victim's family to file the chargesheet within a week.
More details are awaited in this regard.
