Jeypore: In yet another residential school shocker, a Class 8 girl student of Phampuni Upper Primary School under Jeypore block in Koraput district was found three-month pregnant.

The 13-year-old girl, who belongs to a tribal community, had undergone a medical examination three days ago and she was found pregnant following a test.

Sources said school authorities got suspicious after the girl stopped taking sanitary pads for the last three months and later took her to the district headquarters hospital (DHH) for a medical examination. Following a test, doctors informed the school officials about her pregnancy. However, when the school Headmistress asked the minor girl about it, the girl did not disclose anything.
