A three-year-old boy was allegedly subjected to physical and sexual abuse at a private playschool in northeast Delhi's Maujpur, according to police. CCTV footage reportedly showed him tied to a chair, kicked, and held by his ears. The child's father noticed behavioral changes and took him to an ENT specialist who detected swelling in his eardrums and suspected physical abuse.
The family then sought CCTV footage from the school, which allegedly showed the abuse. The father was charged with demanding Rs 1,500 to view the footage. The child was taken to the hospital, where medico-legal tests revealed swelling on his left thigh and an abrasion near his left eye. Police registered a case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, and Pocso Act.
The school director, principal, teacher, and caretaker have been arrested, and the caretaker and teacher have been permanently removed from the school. An inquiry committee was set up by the Directorate of Education to investigate the incident.
