According to the police, the alleged assault happened on April 30, 2026 , during school hours — the second day after the child’s admission. The mother filed a complaint at Janakpuri police station on May 1, 2026 after the child complained of pain and identified the accused.
A 57-year-old school staff member and caretaker was arrested on May 1, 2026 , produced before a court and initially sent to judicial custody. The accused was granted bail by a court in Dwarka on May 7, 2026 , despite opposition from the prosecution. Police say they are examining CCTV footage from the school premises as part of the probe.
The complaint was registered under provisions of the POCSO Act, and investigators are handling the matter as a child sexual assault case. Officials have not released detailed forensic or medical findings publicly.
What officials and campaigners said
Bharadwaj told reporters the family complained of pressure from local police and questioned the speed at which bail was granted. Oberoi described the incident as serious and urged authorities to ensure justice for the child and her family.
Janakpuri police confirmed the arrest and said investigators were reviewing evidence, including CCTV. The school administration has not issued a public statement that was cited during the protest.
The demonstration at Raj Bhavan brought attention to procedural and safety concerns at the school and renewed calls for an impartial investigation. Authorities at Raj Bhavan agreed to respond with a meeting schedule by email to the AAP delegation.
