A four-year-old student of a reputed English medium school in Kandivli was allegedly sexually abused by her teacher inside the school on Monday. The Kandivli police have booked the accused for rape and under various sections of the POCSO Act. This is reportedly the third such incident in that school in the last three years.

Police sources said the victim, a student of  junior KG, complained of pain in her private part after returning home. When her mother asked her about it, the girl said there was blood in her urine and that her class teacher had inserted a finger in her private part when she had gone to the bathroom. Her parents then called up the police control room, after which the mother's statement was recorded and a complaint filed.
