The Delhi government has taken action against a private school in west Delhi following a disturbing incident where a three-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 57-year-old caretaker on April 30. The Directorate of Education (DoE) issued a show-cause notice on May 8, citing 'grave lapses' in the school's responsibility to protect its students. The notice demands an explanation for potential actions, including withdrawal of the school's recognition and management takeover under the Delhi School Education Act. The inquiry was initiated after the victim's parents discovered her condition and reported the incident to the police. The caretaker was arrested on May 1 but was granted bail on May 7, prompting outrage from the victim’s family, who staged a protest outside the school. The DoE's notice also pointed out the school's failure to maintain adequate surveillance systems, including the absence of CCTV cameras in critical areas, and a history of unresolved complaints regarding safety and administration.
