IN A HORRIFIC incident that has shocked people in the country, a six-year-old student was allegedly brutally assaulted by a Class 3 student at a Government school in Haryana’s Panchkula, officials said on Saturday. The girl’s family has questioned the security monitored from the principal’s office alleging that the accused student lured the girl to the first floor of the school by telling her that her father had called her. It was there that the girl was attacked and left severely injured and unconscious. In a disturbing account of the incident, the family claimed that the same eight-year-old student accused of assaulting the girl later led them to the spot where she was lying unconscious inside the school premises. The girl’s uncle, Faisal, said that when the family reached the school and began searching for her, it was the accused boy who eventually took them to the place where she was lying.

 

“She went to school in the morning as usual. There were no issues or fights. When school got over, our hired auto driver went to pick her up, but she was not there.” The school staff told him that the girl was missing. He returned home and informed my brother, who immediately went back to the school. “When my brother reached there, he could not find her nearby. The boy who assaulted her told my brother that she was upstairs and lying there.” “When my brother went upstairs and saw her, he fainted. There was blood everywhere in the room,” Faisal told IANS.
