    What's the story

    In yet another horror in the national capital, a six-year-old girl studying in Class-I in a private south Delhi school has been brutally raped by a housekeeping staff member in a toilet.

    Police said the employee, who joined the school three months ago, has been arrested.

    The incident once again exposed the issue of child safety and sexual crimes against students in schools.

    Here's more.

    Details

    Victim's parents informed principal; lodged police complaint

    On 4 October, the Class-I student had reportedly gone to the girls' washroom in the afternoon where she was raped.

    The incident came to light when the victim reached home at around 2:30pm and told her mother about it.

    Her father said that a woman employee, who was supposed to assist children in the washroom, was not present at the time.

    Child Safety

    Delhi Govt. asks all schools to get staff verified

    Following cases of crime and sexual assault against children in schools, Delhi Deputy CM and Education Minister, Manish Sisodia, recently ordered all schools (private/government/MCD-run) to install CCTV cameras in their premises.

    They were asked to complete the process of police verification of their non-teaching staff.

    Delhi Police also assured it would improve security and conduct character verification of all school employees in the city.
