A seven-year-old girl accused two senior girls from her school of allegedly sedating and then touching her inappropriately in Delhi's Moti Nagar on Sunday.
One of the accused is a 20-year-old and the other a minor, said an officer. The 20-year-old accused has already been arrested under relevant sections of the POCSO Act (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act). An officer said they received a call at the police control room at about 12.10 pm from a man who said that his daughter had been violated in school. He had taken his daughter to Acharya Bhikshu Hospital for a medical examination. The girl was examined and underwent counselling. In her statement, she alleged the two senior school girls would take her to a vacant room during lunch break and take off her clothes, while they took theirs off. The girl told the school counsellor that her seniors would sedate her.
"They allegedly touched her private parts. When she refused to accept their demands, they would threaten her. On the complaint, a FIR under the POCSO Act has been registered. The case is under investigation. A woman officer, a NGO and psychologist are dealing with the case. We will also question teachers, staff members and other students of the school to find out if there are any other victims," said a senior officer.
The victim and the accused study at the same school in West Delhi's Moti Nagar. The girl first shared details of the incident with her parents, who then approached the police. The girl is undergoing counselling and her parents will also be counselled. A separate counselling session will also be conducted at the school for other girls.
