16-year-old girl’s body discovered in well in Rajasthan; family claims she was raped by teacher.

Class 12 student found dead in Rajasthan, locals allege rape and murder by school teacher

In yet another crime against girls in Rajasthan, the body of a Class 12 student was found in a well in the Sawai Madhopur district on Thursday. Locals allege that she was raped and later murdered by her school teacher, according to news agency PTI.

Key Details:

• The 16-year-old girl had gone missing on August 8, and her father lodged a complaint against her school teacher, Ramratan Meena, for abducting her.
• Her body was discovered in a well, leading to protests by the girl’s relatives and local villagers, demanding justice, compensation, and the immediate arrest of the accused.
• The accused teacher, Ramratan Meena, has been detained and is being interrogated. He has also been suspended by the school.
• A case of rape and murder has been registered against the accused at the Bonli police station.
• Rajendra Rathore, Leader of Opposition in the Rajasthan assembly, criticized the government over the incident, stating that crimes against women have increased under Congress rule.
• This incident comes in the wake of the recent gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara district.
• Another incident involved the rape of an eight-year-old girl by a 25-year-old man in Pali district.

The safety of women in Rajasthan has become a major concern, with opposition leaders calling for justice and criticizing the government’s focus on launching schemes like the ‘Indira Gandhi Smartphone’ instead of addressing the issue.

The Ashok Gehlot government is facing increased pressure due to these recent crimes, with demands for improved law and order and stricter punishment for offenders.
