GREATER NOIDA: Preparing the ground to book the management of a private school in
Greater Noida for the alleged rape of a three and a half year old child inside the premises, police on Tuesday recorded statements of at least 10 parents who have alleged that the school did not fix the security lapses despite being repeatedly pointed out to the authorities.
The parents were summoned at
Surajpur police station for recording their statements, which will now form a part of the police inquiry.
“The parents have told cops how they had been in touch with the school management demanding that the security lapses be fixed. It is due to not acting on our concerns that this crime had happened,” one of the parents who gave his statement to police told TOI on Wednesday. At least one parent also informed the police about alleged harassment of their child by some senior students.
Circle officer of Greater Noida I, Amit Srivastava, said the statements of the parents of some children of the same school were recorded. “Their complaints and allegations form a very important part of our investigation. It will help broaden the scope and we will investigate whether there was any negligence on the part of the school which resulted in this incident,” he said.
Police have already gotten the statements of the rape survivor and her parents in the case recorded before a magistrate. Repeated calls to the principal went unanswered.
