Delhi Cm Rekha Gupta 3 Year Old Boy Sexually Assaulted School Sealing

A day after the arrest of an attendant over the alleged sexual assault of a three-year-old boy, the playschool in Northeast Delhi was sealed on Monday following directions from Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, said officials.

Police on Sunday said that a case under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Juvenile Justice Act has been registered against the attendant and a teacher at the playschool was served a notice.

The teacher has now been suspended. In an official statement, the Chief Minister’s office on Monday underlined, “On the directions of the CM, the District Magistrate has initiated proceedings to seal the premises of the school. Police investigation is underway. The Delhi government will ensure that responsibility is fixed and those found guilty face the strictest action under law.”

The CM has assured the family that legal support would be extended if required.

The FIR in the case names four persons, including the owner of the school and the principal, as the accused.

The father also claimed that once he and his wife approached the school authorities, they allegedly refuted their claims, but “reluctantly agreed to share the CCTV footage”.

“On August 26, we saw the footage. About 9.45 am on August 18, he was tied to a chair for three hours. He managed to open it… then was beaten up by the attendant. On August 17, he was slapped by the teacher,” the child’s father said.

Some of the clips, officers said, show the child being tied to a chair in a classroom full of children, and being stacked against the wall.

On August 27, the family got a medico-legal certificate for the child and then got an FIR registered.
