Ek Pocso court Dehradun me ek swimming coach ko 5 saal ki jail aur Rs 20,000 ka fine sunaya gaya hai, kyunki usne Dec 2018 me Rajpur ke ek boarding school me Class 9 ki student ke saath molestation kiya tha. Additional District & Sessions Judge (Pocso) Rajni Shukla ne survivor ko Rs 1 lakh ka compensation dene ka bhi order diya. Agar coach ye fine nahi deta, toh uski jail ki saza aur badh jayegi.
Additional district government advocate Kishor Kumar ne bataya ki survivor ki mother ne 12 Dec 2018 ko SSP ke paas complaint di thi. Agle din Rajpur police station me case register hua aur 15 Dec ko coach ko arrest kar liya gaya.
Apni statement me ladki ne bataya ki woh Punjab se aayi thi aur Hindi ki extra classes le rahi thi. Coach baar-baar uspe pressure daalta tha ki woh sports join kare, jabki woh already studies me struggle kar rahi thi. Usne ye bhi bataya ki uska bhai bhi usi school me padhta tha.
Nov 2018 me, jab sab teachers meeting me the, coach class me uske saath akela tha. “Usne mere bhai ko apna number diya aur bola ki hum dono uss shaam movie dekhne chalein,” ladki ne kaha. Jab ladki ne baad me coach ko call karke mana kiya, thand ka reason diya aur bataya ki uski awaaz kaanp rahi hai, toh coach ne jawab diya, “Main tumhe warm kar dunga.”
Kuch din baad coach ne uska haath pakda aur kaha ki woh uske saath chale. “Woh mere kapdon par comments karta tha aur mujhe uncomfortable feel karwata tha,” usne add kiya.
Court ne 8 gawahon ki testimony sunne ke baad faisla sunaya. Proceedings ke dauraan school principal ne apne statements kai baar badle, jiske liye unka separate trial 15 Dec ko hoga. – TOI
