Bhopal: A three-and-a-half-year-old girl, studying in one of the reputed schools, in Ratibad area of Bhopal was allegedly sexually attacked by bus driver. Her parents came to know when the girl complained of pain in her private parts, said police on Monday.
The victim was sexually harassed by driver multiple times. The girl was not able to explain what, when and how many times the act was repeated.
School ignored complaint
Additional deputy commissioner of police Richa Choubey told Free Press that the parents approached Mahila police station and filed a complaint. In the complaint, they stated that they paid fees not only for education but also for the security of their child while travelling.
