School head charged with hindering rape probe

Police in India have arrested the head of a school where a six-year-old girl was raped and charged him with hindering the investigation.

Rustom Kerawalla was charged with negligence for failing to ensure the student’s safety, police in the southern city of Bangalore said.

Earlier this week, police also arrested the school’s skating instructor and charged him with attacking the girl. The instructor has been teaching at the school since 2011 and police said officials performed no background check when they hired him.
