NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old man, who worked as a helper in Presidium School in Dwarka Sector 16-B, was on Wednesday arrested for allegedly molesting a five-year-old girl studying in the same school.
Kamlesh allegedly molested the victim on several occasions when she would go to the bathroom, said police. The victim's family protested against the school authorities after Kamlesh's dismissal was delayed by a day and he was later released on bail on Thursday.
According to the family, the child on Tuesday complained she was repeatedly being molested by a cleaner. Shocked, her parents complained to the school and once the child identified the accused, he was asked to leave. "It takes some time for processing the papers. So technically, Kamlesh was removed on Wednesday. Men are not allowed to enter girls bathrooms in our school, '' explained Sarita Syal, the school PRO.
The parents, who were unable for comment, pressed molestation charges against the accused in Dwarka (north) police station on Wednesday after which Kamlesh was arrested. The girl's parents protested after Kamlesh got bail on Thursday. A senior police officer explained, "It is a bailable offence. Even if the parents agitate against the release there is nothing we can do.''
The victim is a resident of Dwarka Sector 11. Kamlesh stays in Nangloi in west Delhi and is unmarried, said police. He had reportedly worked in the school for two and a half years.
