Mumbai, February 7 Police have arrested a school employee from a Mumbai-based school for allegedly sexually abusing a five-year-old girl at the educational facility, an official said on Saturday. The accused was arrested on Friday, while the CEO of the Malad-based school, where the incident occurred, has gone missing. The incident took place a few days ago on the school premises. After the child narrated it to her mother, she approached the school authorities seeking action against the employee, the police official said. However, when the school authorities failed to take action, the victim's mother approached the police and filed a complaint against the employee and the school CEO, based on which an FIR was registered against them under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Further investigation is underway, the official added.
