The director and a teacher of a school in Sikar in Rajasthan who raped a Class 12 student and then forced her to abort have been detained, police said on Tuesday.
"We have rounded up two persons and are interrogating them," Sikar Superintendent of Police Vinit Kumar told IANS on phone.
"We are trying to find out the course of events. Based on that, we will take a call on arresting them," he added.
The teenager was raped for two months. Kumar said the girl's statement will be recorded after her health improves.
According to reports, the student is undergoing treatment at a Jaipur hospital.
It is alleged that the school director and teacher raped her on the pretext of taking extra classes. When she became pregnant, she was taken to a hospital where her abortion was carried out clandestinely.
After her health deteriorated, she was shifted by her family to a Jaipur hospital.
