When the girl informed one of her female teachers about the incident, she told her (the girl) not to tell anyone about it and sent her home.
The traumatised little girl followed what her teacher said. But as bleeding continued, her parents took her to the hospital, suspecting that she might have Dengue. At one point, the girl told her mother about the incident, the OC said.
