Parents react Priya Kothadiya, one of the parents who took the step to lodge the complaint, said, &ldquo;We were shocked to hear that the attendant was molesting the girl for the past few days. The girl was so traumatised by the incident that she would wake up from her sleep in tears. We were informed that the attendant had threatened the girl not to tell anyone about the the incident.&rdquo;
Kothadiya added that the incident came to light when the disturbed girl could no longer take it, and told her mother. &ldquo;The mother immediately took her for a medical examination and then approached the school on Saturday. However, rather than taking action against the accused, the principal said that they did not find any problems with the bus attendant, who was working in the school for the past four years.&rdquo; An angry Kothadiya told mid-day that it was shocking that the school had taken no punitive action and it was, their responsibility to file an FIR in such situations. However, no action had been taken.
