A three-year-old girl student of a renowned private playschool in Sector 48 here has been allegedly molested. After the victim’s parents filed a complaint, the Gurugram police registered an FIR against an unidentified person and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed.

According to the complaint filed by the girl’s family, their daughter had been studying in the school for the past six months. On October 28, a delivery boy came to their house and caressed the girl while giving the goods. After he left, the girl informed her mother about the bad touch committed in the school.

During the girl’s counselling by the child welfare committee, she could neither tell the name of the accused nor recognise him. She was also not aware when and where the incident took place in the school.
