A 3-year-old boy is alleged to have been physically assaulted at a day care/play school in northeast Delhi, with reports also alleging sexual abuse. Multiple accounts say CCTV footage shows the child being restrained and hit by staff, including being tied to a chair and subjected to kicks and slaps. The boy’s father reports noticing behavioral changes and then bringing the matter to police.
Delhi Police register a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. One report also cites registration under additional sections including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The incident is reported to have taken place at Makoons Play School in the Maujpur area. The Delhi Directorate of Education orders a thorough inquiry into what happened, as authorities assess the CCTV footage and statements from those involved.
While outlets largely agree on the allegations, the specifics emphasized vary: some focus more on the physical acts shown on video, and others stress the sexual assault allegation and the legal provisions invoked. All accounts describe the matter as under investigation by police and education officials.
