The mysterious disappearance of a four-year-old boy inside his school premises for 20 minutes sent parents into a tizzy last week. The boy’s parents fear that a cleaner in the toilet sexually assaulted him.

The school authorities, however, have raised a red flag by firing the cleaner from his job, ostensibly to wash its hands off the matter. The Kandivli police have registered a non-cognisable complaint against the cleaner, and released him with a warning.
