8-year-old girl allegedly sexually assaulted in Bengaluru school

In yet another incident of child abuse, a eight-year-old girl was allegedly molested  by a PT teacher at a school in Bengaluru.

The teacher in question was beaten up as police were taking him away for further questioning. Police had to resort to mild lathi charge as parents who were protesting outside the school demanding action against the teacher, pelted stones at the school building.

The accused who has been working at the school for the last ten years is said to be a repeat offender.

Bengaluru which had been rocked by a series of sexual assaults in schools last year had seen massive protests from the public, which led to tightening of guidelines to ensure safety of children at schools.
