New Delhi: The security guard of a play school was arrested for allegedly sexually harassing a two-and-a-half-year-old girl in northwest Delhi's Pitampura earlier this month, police said on Wednesday. The child had joined the play school in August, they said.

According to police, the child's mother alleged that her daughter complained her on October 5 about pain in her private parts, but they did not take it seriously thinking of it as some minor injury as no injury marks were visible on the child's body.
