New Delhi schoolgirl rape: Magisterial inquiry ordered, says CM Arvind Kejriwal
The Delhi Government has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the alleged sexual assault of a five-year-old girl in a Shahdara school, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said .
He also said that a protocol would be chalked out for all city schools to ensure the safety of students.
The five-year-old was allegedly raped by a peon on the premises of the private school in Shahdara on Saturday. The accused, Vikas Kumar, was arrested last night.
The incident comes close on the heels of the gruesome killing of a seven-year-old boy who had his throat slit for allegedly resisting sexual assault by a bus conductor of a Gurugram school — an incident which sent shock waves across the country.
Kejriwal said such incidents won’t be tolerated.
“Shameful. Won’t be tolerated. Police doing its job. Ordered magisterial enquiry. Will develop protocol 4 all schools 2 ensure children safety (sic),” he tweeted.
Delhi Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot also tweeted about the incident and said that the inquiry report will be submitted in three days.
