13-year-old girl delivered baby in the school washroom, Hyderabad

Hyderabad: A 9 class student, 13-year-old girl of a government school in the Madhapur area, Hyderabad delivered a baby in the school washroom on Saturday. None of the teachers of the school were aware about her pregnancy.

The teenager complained of the stomach ache, after which teacher sent her to washroom with another classmate. The classmate soon came back and reported that the girl had delivered a baby.

The teen and the baby were moved to a room and her parents were called to school. ''She is very slim and would walk with a dupatta on her stomach and she would sit with her bag on her lap, so we didn't know,'' said the girl's teacher.

It is suspected that the girl may have been assaulted by a neighbor, but a police complaint was filed only after the incident became public on Monday, provoking shock and outrage. A rape case has been registered.
