New Delhi: A day
after a seven-year-old girl was allegedly raped in a municipal
school here, three people - including the school inspector and
principal - were suspended, an official said Saturday.
"School inspector Balraj Singh, principal Neelam Karwal, class
teacher Monica Kohli, school attendant Sushila watchman Kailash
have been suspended in the alleged sexual assault case at
Mangolpuri Municipal Primary School," B.K. Gupta, municipal
commissioner, North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), said.
The Class 2 student was allegedly raped in the NDMC-run school in
Mangolpuri area when she went to collect her midday meal.
She was admitted to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital Friday
afternoon.
"We have constituted a five-member committee and have asked them
to suggest measures for strengthening the security and safety of
students studying in NDMC primary schools. The committee has been
asked to submit its report within three days," Gupta said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, B.S. Jaiswal said: "Around 200
people have been questioned in regard with the sexual assault of
the seven-year-old girl."
He added that police are making a sketch of the accused on the
basis of the victim's statement. He did not rule out the
involvement of non-teaching staff in the alleged sexual offence.
He said three people, including two teachers and a watchman
detained for questioning, are still under detention.
"The girl is fine now. She is at home. She was discharged
yesterday (Friday)," Jaiswal said.
A violent protest occurred outside the school and the hospital
Friday as rumours spread that the girl was in a critical
condition.
