Four-Year-Old Girl Allegedly Sexually Assaulted by Seniors in Kerala School

The two seniors, suspected to be minors, are yet to be identified, according to the police.

Kozhikode: A four-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by two seniors, suspected to be minors, in a school in rural Kozhikode in Kerala.

The incident happened on October 30 but a police complaint was filed only yesterday after the girl, a kindergarten student, reportedly confided in her mother about the incident. A medical check-up at a private hospital confirmed sexual assault.

Police say a medical report from the government hospital is awaited.

The boys are yet to be identified, police said.

"Investigations are on... The role of the school is also being investigated... The victim in her statement has said that she can identify the two boys," an official from the Valayam Police Station said.

A case has been registered under Section 376 (rape) of the India Penal Code (IPC) as well as under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
