In the FIR, the parents reported that their daughter appeared terrified and confided in them that a “dada” (Marathi for elder brother) at the school had taken off her clothes and touched her private parts. This disturbing revelation prompted the family to contact the police.
The complaint also alleges a delay in police response, stating that the family informed the authorities on August 16, but the FIR was only registered 12 hours later, around 9 pm. The accused, identified as Akshay Shinde, an attendant at the school, was subsequently arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. He faces charges under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including those related to rape, assault, and sexual harassment.
