A 12-year-old student of a reputed school in Charkop was allegedly molested by an unidentified student inside the canteen on Thursday morning. According to police sources, in her statement, the victim has alleged that on the day of the incident, when she was standing in a queue to get her meal, someone touched her inappropriately on her private parts. On reaching home, she told her family about it, after which her parents brought her to the police.

However, yesterday, her family members and parents of other students reached the school and became aggressive; even a few local politicians jumped into the fray. To calm the situation, school authorities showed CCTV footage to those assembled, but nothing resembling the girl's allegation was found in it.
