JOHOR BARU: Police are investigating what appears to be the rape of a Year One pupil by her classmates in their school here, although details are sketchy for now.

It is learnt that the seven-year-old victim was raped during recess by three of her classmates inside the boy's toilet.

Their act was uncovered by the school cleaner who notified the principal at around 10am last Thursday (Jan 10).

The victim's mother then brought her to the Sultan Ismail Hospital here for a medical check-up.

"However, the medical report from a doctor who inspected the victim found that the alleged rape did not happen.

"Investigations are still ongoing to find out the details about the incident because, so far, we have only received preliminary reports regarding the incident," he said when met during the civil servants safety symposium here on Tuesday (Jan 15).
