Bangalore: With pressure mounting on the Bangalore Police over the rape of a 6-year-old student inside a top school in the city, eight staff members have been detained so far in connection with the horrendous crime.
Police also questioned as many as 90 people in the case. It however will need at least a day or two to make a major headway in the case. "The CCTVs in place are very old and the footage cannot be downloaded. We have to gather information from various sources. There was a lot of delay in occurrence and reporting of the case. Give us a day or two and we will bring the culprit to book," the Bangalore Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar told CNN-IBN.
A Saturday morning saw Bangaloreans come out on streets in thousands in protest of the shocking incident taking place inside the school premises and that too in school hours.
Parents, meanwhile, maintain that they would not send their wards to school till Tuesday, the day when they meet the school management. They want adequate safety and security within the school including the students' transport.
With two staff members being accused of the crime, parents also demand a thorough background verification of teaching and non-teaching staff. Also, any violation of government mandated security guidelines should lead to de-recognition of the institution.
The incident came to light after the traumatized child reached home at around 1 PM on Monday and told her mother how an 'uncle' had befriended her, taken her out of school just as her classes were over and sexually assaulted her. She was allegedly assaulted when she came out of her class at around 11 AM on Monday.
