Tagore Public School in Delhi's Gandhi Nagar to remain closed after minor's rape

New Delhi: The Tagore Public School in Delhi's Gandhi Nagar locality will remain closed for the next three days due to concerns over the alleged rape of a five-year-old girl student inside its campus.

According to ANI, the management has decided to close the school for the next three days fearing protests over the incident. 

Delhi Police had earlier arrested a peon associated with the school in connection with the rape case.

A case was also registered against him under the POSCO Act.

The Arvind Kejriwal government had on Sunday ordered a magisterial probe into the incident. The report will be submitted within three days.

The incident was reported on September 9 – a day after a class II student of Ryan International School was found dead by a school staff in the washroom with his throat slit.

The boy was allegedly killed by bus conductor Ashok Kumar who also allegedly tried to sexually abuse the minor. 

The accused was arrested hours after the gruesome murder.
