Class 9 Girl Gives Birth In School Toilet In Karnataka, Man Held For Sexual Assault

In a shocking incident, a 17-year-old class 9 student of a government-run residential school in Karnataka’s Yadgir district gave birth to a baby boy in the school’s toilet, police said on Friday.

The incident took place earlier this week on August 27 at a school in Shahapur taluk of the district, when the Class 9 student went into labour during school hours. Her classmates, who reportedly witnessed her in distress, immediately alerted the school administration.

The girl (aged 17 and seven months) and the newborn were soon taken to the hospital for treatment and are reportedly in good health.
