A Grade 10 boy abuses a UKG girl in his father’s room at Ratlam School, caught after… – The Week

In a shocking situation in Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam town, the son of a private school security guard has been charged with sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl on the school premises. A senior kindergarten (UKG) student was able to tell her mother what happened, which led to the boy’s arrest, after learning the “good touch, bad touch” and “stranger danger” rules of body privacy from her parents.

According to police, the girl told her mother about the incident on the night of September 27, Friday. The accused, who was charged under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act, exploited the child in the guard room on the third floor of the school building. The child brought into the room went unnoticed as CCTVs were operational only on the ground floor of the private facility, a report by news agency PTI said.

The teenager is a Class 10 student admitted to another branch of the same school.

“An investigation was launched after the girl’s mother made a report that her daughter had been sexually abused at the school where her daughter is a UKG student. The accused boy has been taken into custody,” Additional Superintendent of Police Rakesh Khakha told PTI.

The boy was charged under Sections 65-ii (Whoever commits rape of a woman under twelve years of age) and 75 (Physical contact and making unwelcome and explicit sexual advances) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, apart from the provisions of the Protection of Children Act Sexual Offenses (POCSO).

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress MP Jitu Patwari expressed concern and accused the BJP government of failing to protect daughters.

“The news of a tragic incident involving a 5-year-old girl in Ratlam has deeply disturbed me. Such incidents happen to our daughters every day in MP. “I am deeply saddened,” he said on X.

“Daughters are not getting justice by simply asking the government for help on social media. Now the Congress party will fight this battle on the streets,” he said.
