An 11-year-old has been left traumatised after he was sexually assaulted by a senior in the school toilet in Mumbai last month, but school authorities continue to turn a blind eye to the incident. His parents had filed a police complaint against the unidentified boy earlier, but they now say that the accused has assaulted and threatened their son again.
After the first assault, the boy was wracked by nightmares and it took a great deal of persuasion to make him attend school again. So when the same person attacked him again and threatened him, it was all the more important that school authorities act on the complaint.
