After a five-year-old child was sexually assaulted inside the Tagore Public School in east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar area, the Delhi Police have asked the school authorities to join the investigation. Also, the child's statement has been recorded under Section 164 of the CrPc.

The Delhi Police are also investigating whether the school was following the safety guidelines. It seems there were no CCTV cameras installed in the passage where the accused took the child. She is yet to recover completely.

Meanwhile, the child's father said that at the time of the incident, extra classes were being held and there were not many staffers inside the school. "The accused took her inside the store room and no one even noticed it. Where were the teachers and the security staffers? Now my daughter is refusing to go to school. We had shifted her to this school just six months ago," he said.

"We went by the brand name of the school and enrolled our daughter. She is in a state of shock and is being counselled," her mother said. The parents also alleged that the class teacher reached the hospital and tried to convince them to not reveal the school's name. On Saturday afternoon, a school staffer allegedly raped the Class I student in a store room. The Delhi government has ordered a magisterial probe into the incident. The report has to be submitted within three days.
