"Will Spoil Atmosphere": Rape Survivor Stopped From Taking Class 12 Boards

The private school in Ajmer though has said they did not give an admit card to the student as she had not attended classes for 4 months.

A class 12 student in Rajasthan has alleged that her school did not let her appear for board examinations as she had been gang-raped last year. The student, in her complaint, alleged that the school officials told her that the "atmosphere would be spoiled" if she appeared for the exam.

The private school in Ajmer though claims they did not give an admit card to the student as she had not attended classes for 4 months.

The matter came to light when the student approached a teacher at another school, who advised her to call the child helpline number. Ajmer's Child Welfare Commission (CWC) has filed a case and will take necessary action after the investigation.
