PATNA, July 2 -- A school clerk was arrested on Tuesday and sent to judicial custody for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl of a prestigious blind school in Patna for over two years, police said. ASP Patna City Atulesh Jha said that after receiving a complaint from the girl's father, the police took statements from family members and the victim's friends. "In the course of investigation, it came to light that when the victim went to the clerk for papers and other work, he took the opportunity to molest her. She has also undergone a medical examination. An FIR has been filed against accused under section 6 of POCSO Act and section 64 (2) of the BNS. The entire matter is being investigated, and a charge sheet will be filed soon, "the police officer said. According to police, the victim's father said that his daughter had been studying and living in the hostel of the blind school since 2018. On May 17, the daughter came home for summer vacation. "After the vacation ended on June 25, the father was sending his daughter back to school but she refused to go to school. When the father asked her the reason, she initially said nothing. Later, her elder sister told the father that the clerk of the blind school, identified as Ajit Sir, had been sexually exploiting her since 2023. The victim also said that the accused threatened her with dire consequences if she narrated the incident to anyone. "My daughter can only see ten per cent with her eyes, "said the father of the victim. The blind school principal said, "The entry of any male or staff member into the school hostel is prohibited. The student, who had been living in the hostel since 2018, never made any complaint to the school administration. The parents also did not inform them about any misconduct with the child. The school administration clearly states that no one on campus was aware of the child's abuse. Everyone learned about it from outside," she said. Station House Officer of Agamkuan police station, Neeraj Kunar Pandey, said that the accused clerk is a resident of Fatehpur which falls under the jurisdiction of Raghopur police station in Vaishali district, adding that the police are awaiting the girl's medical examination....
