Noida Horror: 3-Year-Old Girl Assaulted Twice at School, Staff Arrested as Mother Raises Alarming Claims
3 min read
In a shocking incident from Noida, a 3-year-old girl was sexually assaulted not once but twice at her school. This heartbreaking event has raised serious concerns about child safety in schools. Let’s dive into the details of this incident and what has been done so far.
The Incident: Two Assaults at School
The girl, just 3 years old, was first assaulted a few weeks ago by a member of the school’s housekeeping staff. The man, known to the girl as “Khana Bhaiya,” allegedly molested her while she was playing in the playground. Sadly, this wasn’t the end of it.
On October 4, 2024, the same man lured the little girl into the school’s medical room, locked the door, and sexually assaulted her again. It’s said that another staff member heard the child’s cries and rushed to the scene, but by then, the accused had already escaped through a window.
To make matters worse, when the girl was taken back to her class, her teacher brushed off the incident, telling the mother that the child might have been influenced by inappropriate videos. The teacher even told the girl, “Gharpe mat batana” (don’t tell anyone at home), which has caused widespread outrage.
Mother’s Shocking Discovery
After the second assault, the child began to refuse to go to school and complained of pain in her private parts. On October 7, her parents took her to the doctor, where they discovered the horrifying truth: their daughter had been sexually assaulted.
During a counseling session, the girl revealed that the man who served food in school had hurt her private parts with a stick. This heart-wrenching revelation led the parents to file a complaint with the police.
Police Action and Arrest
The girl’s parents filed an official complaint at Sector 20 Police Station on October 10, 2024. The police took immediate action and arrested the accused on the same day. The suspect was hired by the school on a contractual basis a few months ago and is now facing charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) section 65 (2) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
According to DCP Noida, Ram Badan Singh, investigations are ongoing, and the school administration is being questioned as well. Authorities are examining CCTV footage from the school, but no concrete evidence has been found yet in the videos. However, the investigation is far from over.
School’s Response
In response to the allegations, the school administration has denied any lapse in security. In an official statement, they claimed that the incident is “unlikely” to have occurred due to the security systems in place. They also mentioned that no evidence was found in the CCTV footage. Despite this, the school said they are fully cooperating with the police investigation and are providing support to the family.
Raising Questions About Child Safety in Schools
This horrifying incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of young children in schools. Parents in Noida and across the country are worried about the security measures in place and the background checks done on staff members, especially those who interact directly with students.
The fact that this happened twice, and a trusted staff member is accused of such heinous crimes, has left many parents in shock. Schools are supposed to be safe havens for children, but incidents like this erode the trust parents place in these institutions.
What Parents Can Do
In light of this incident, here are some important steps parents can take to ensure their child’s safety:
- Communicate Regularly: Talk to your child about their day-to-day experiences in school. Encourage them to share any strange or uncomfortable feelings they might have.
- Look for Signs: If your child suddenly refuses to go to school or shows any behavioral changes, don’t ignore it. Investigate further.
- Engage with the School: Attend parent-teacher meetings, ask about security measures, and ensure that the school is performing thorough background checks on staff members.
Conclusion
The Noida school assault case has shocked the community and raised urgent questions about how safe our schools really are for young children. As the investigation continues, it’s vital that parents, schools, and authorities work together to ensure that such incidents never happen again. Strict safety measures, background checks, and open communication are key to preventing such tragedies.
