Bangalore: The Bangalore police today arrested a school attendant over the alleged rape of a three-year-old nursery student in the city earlier this week.
According to the police, the 45-year-old who was earlier detained, was working as an office assistant in the school.
A criminal case was also filed against the school for running classes beyond the sanctioned limit. It reportedly had a licence to run only classes 1 to 6 but was allegedly running the nursery section illegally and has been asked to explain. The school will now reopen on Monday for classes 1 to 5.
There have been angry protests in Bangalore since the case surfaced on Tuesday, the third instance of sexual assault in school in four months.
The child's mother says she found her daughter crying when she went to pick her up from the school on Tuesday.
According to the police complaint filed by her father, the child "had signs of fever and complained to her mother that she was physically abused by someone she did not know or recognize."
Three months ago, Bangalore witnessed large street protests after a six-year-old child was raped at her school; two gym instructors were arrested.
Nearly 200 schools in the IT city were booked for not having safety measures in place.
