He told the girl’s father to pick her up after the exams get over.

Later, when the girl’s father went to pick up her, the girl told him that she was raped by the principal, while two other women helped him. Reports also suggest that, while the girl was narrating the entire incident to her father, all three accused managed to flee from the house.
