Noida school ignores sexual assault complaint of 6-year-old girl, principal, teacher, supervisor arrested

The accused is on the run.

On Friday, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Ram Badan Singh, told The Indian Express that police received some information about the main accused and are sending a team to arrest him. “We are hoping to nab the accused soon,” he said.

The girl’s parents alleged in the complaint that their daughter was inappropriately touched by a labourer.

“The class teacher and principal, in connivance with the school supervisor, tried to hide the incident and helped the labourer escape,” said a senior officer of the Noida Police.

“The contractor who had hired the accused labourer also played a role in allowing the accused to escape,” the officer added.

A meeting regarding the incident was held between Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Manish Mishra and Deputy Commissioner of Police Ram Badan Singh Friday.

Meanwhile, a school staffer told The Indian Express that the incident may have occurred during recess.

“The labourer was carrying a heap of sand to the terrace of the school where work was going on… We do not know what happened next… if he touched her inappropriately or was just playing with her,” he claimed.

Police said an FIR was registered under Sections 74 (outraging women’s modesty) and 263 (obstruction to the lawful apprehension of a person) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sections 7 and 8 (sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
