A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped by the driver of her school bus while he was dropping her back home in Noida on October 9. Police said that they received a compliment on Thursday night following which a case has been registered. The accused driver is absconding.
The family of the accused alleged that the school administration was reluctant in taking actions against the accused and kept ignoring them for more than fifteen days past the incident.
The girl's mother, who is the complainant, said that the family had started using the school bus transportation as the school was far from their residence.
In her complaint, the mother said, "On 9th when my husband went to pick up our daughter, aged three years and nine months from the bus stop, he saw that she started crying as soon as she stepped down from the bus. When he asked her the reason, she sobbed and told him that the driver had removed her undergarments and touched her private parts."
At the time of the incident, the woman was at her office in Gurgaon. Her husband informed her about the incident as soon as she came back home. "I took her to another room and inquired about the incident. She started crying and recorded the whole thing," alleged the mother.
The mother stated that she had immediately called the school principal and class teacher and shared the video on Whatsapp, but got no response. "The principal called me to the school next day. We had a meeting with the school management and administration and we were assured that strict action would be taken in the matter and also an FIR will be filed."
The parents also alleged that for nearly 15 days they were given this assurance.
The parents then approached the police and filed a complaint with the Surajpur police station. A case of rape has been registered against the unknown bus driver under the sections of rape (376A and 376B) along with sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO), Act.
According to the police officials, the driver has now been identified.
