13 girls sexually assaulted during fake NCC camp in Tamil Nadu; 11 arrested, including school principal, 2 teachers

New Delhi: Eleven persons, including the principal and two teachers of a private school in Krishnagiri district, have been arrested in connection with the sexual assault of 13 girls at a fake National Cadet Corps (NCC) camp, tamil nadu police said today.

The camp was set up on the school premises and its manager has also been arrested.

Krishnagiri district superintendent of police said the girl was sexually assaulted and at least a dozen others abused at a fake NCC camp at the school.

He said the school management was aware of the sexual harassment but chose to hush up the matter instead of informing the police. The police investigation revealed that the private school where the camp was held did not have an NCC unit.

The three-day camp was held in the first week of August and had 41 campers, of which 17 were girls. A case has been registered against the accused under the Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
