GHAZIABAD: In a shocking sexual crime, a six-year-old student of a well-known private school in Vasundhara was routinely abused by the driver and conductor of her schoolbus for months till a problem in her private parts alerted her parents to the assaults.

The accused have been arrested and sent to Dasna jail . According to the statement of the girl, a Class I student, the duo used to abuse her in the bus while it was parked outside the school.

“The victim is in deep shock and depression. The two kept threatening her with dire consequences if she talked about the abuse with anyone,” says the complaint.

Shockingly, the complaint states that after the crime came to light, the family had approached the school authorities but “no concrete action was taken”. They then approached the police and an FIR was lodged on Thursday evening.

"We sent the girl for medical examination while a team was sent to detain the accused. The medical report confirmed the allegations and we have registered a case under Section 377 (unnatural offences) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of IPC," SP (city) S S Yadav said.

The victim's family lives in Ghaziabad and she was admitted in the school last year. The police complaint says, "The accused driver and conductor were physically abusing the girl for the past many months. A physical problem occurred in the victim's private parts and when her mother noticed it, she consulted a doctor."

The complaint says the doctor prescribed some medicines which did not cure the condition. "Then the mother smelled some foul play and convinced the girl to reveal the problem. The victim then narrated the entire incident to the family," it states.

"Soon we will get in touch with the school authority to get their stand. A team will also be sent to the school for investigations," SP Yadav said. Ghaziabad district magistrate has also ordered an inquiry into the case and has sought the school's reply on why students were not accompanied by any teacher or staff member in school buses.
