Minor Girl Delivers Baby in Hostel
A young girl in Class 10 had a baby in the bathroom of her school hostel.
The baby's father, a 23-year-old man named Hanumagowda, was arrested.
The girl's teachers and the hostel warden are also in trouble because they did not take care of her properly.
The girl is getting medical help.
Officials are very upset about what happened and have suspended some of the hostel staff.
The police are trying to prevent such incidents by teaching people about child protection laws.
A Class 10 student delivered a baby in the washroom of a government girls’ hostel in Koppal, Karnataka.
The accused, Hanumagowda (23), was arrested and sent to judicial custody for allegedly sexually assaulting the girl.
An FIR was filed against the hostel warden, teachers, and doctors for negligence.
The minor girl had been residing in the hostel adjacent to her school.
The hostel warden and two employees were suspended, and the night-shift watchman was dismissed for dereliction of duty.
