The Santacruz Police have arrested a 35-year-old man working as a peon at a Santacruz-West-based school for sexually assaulting a seven-year-old girl.  The girl opened up to her mother about how the peon had been molesting her for the past three months, saying,  “Peon uncle took me inside the washroom to play and touched me uncomfortably. He told me it’s a part of the game.”

The police have registered a case and started an investigation. The girl is studying in Std III. On Saturday, she started experiencing pain in her private parts and was unable to urinate, so she informed her mother. Doctors discovered that the girl had been injured and she was admitted to the hospital. According to the police officials, the accused has been working in the school for the past six to seven years. His duties included keeping all the documents in place and assisting the teachers.
