In a shocking incident, a four-year-old girl was raped allegedly at her school in Karnataka's Bidar, while the perpetrator remains unknown. The Bidar Police registered a case against an unknown person on the complaint filed by the parents of the girl and were making efforts to nab him.

The parents came to know about the horrific act after the girl came back from school on Wednesday, and her mother found her bleeding from her private parts.

She found herself bleeding while she was changing her clothes. On July 23, the girl was dropped off at the school by her father in the morning and was picked up by him at around 2:30 pm.

The girl was immediately taken to the nearby hospital and was currently being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Bidar Institute of Medical Science (BRIMS).

While the case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered on Thursday, the police are yet to record the statement of the police. The police are also investigating whether the bleeding took place as a result of sexual assault or not.

According to a report by The New Indian Express (TNIE), Bidar SP Pradeep Gunte said that the police are yet to take the statement of the girl and verify if she was raped or an attempt was made to rape her. The police will also confirm if it is an injury not related to rape.
