Delhi government has initiated proceedings to seal the premises of a school in Maujpur where a three-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted, the Chief Minister’s Office said on Monday.
“Delhi government has taken serious cognisance of the deeply disturbing incident reported from a play school in Maujpur. On the directions of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the district magistrate has initiated proceedings to seal the premises of the school. Police investigation is underway,” the CMO said on X.
Delhi government would ensure that responsibility is fixed and those found guilty would face the strictest action under the law, it added.
The incident came to light on August 19 after the child’s family noticed injuries to her private parts. When questioned, the child allegedly told her mother about a “bad uncle” at the school who had been giving her chocolates.
