A boy allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl after committing a robbery at a closed MCD school in the national capital, police said on Wednesday.

Police informed further that they filed an FIR of rape and robbery on a complaint lodged by the victim's parents, who work as contractual labourers at the school.

Further, according to police, the family stayed at the school, which was closed for a few days.

The incident took place on Tuesday when the victim's parents were not at the school, the sleuths said.

"On Tuesday, the parents left the school to collect their wages. The 16-year-old victim and her 18-year-old elder sister were alone. The complaint said that around 11.30 am, a boy broke into the school. He first committed a robbery and then picked up a knife from the kitchen before sexually assaulted the younger sister at knifepoint," the FIR stated.
