MUMBAI: A case of rape against a trustee and teacher of an international school has been registered in a police station in the western suburbs. The case was registered on May 18 after the mother of one of the two victims, both three-yearolds, saw bruises on the child’s private parts.

A trustee and a school teacher of the prominent international school in the western suburbs have been booked for rape and sexual assault. The trustee was not reachable while the school’s principal did not respond to calls or text messages. The trustee is at present believed to be out of the country.

The offences reportedly dated back to January and February . The victim’s mother approached a local NGO which helped her file the complaint.

In the complaint, the NGO said, “A teacher used to take two kids–both aged three–to the trustee’s office during breaks. The incident came to light when the mother of one of the two kids, a girl, noticed bruises on her private parts.” A police officer said when the victim’s mother asked the child how she got the bruises, the girl said a `boy teacher’ did it to her. “The child was taken to an NGO, who helped the parents file the complaint. Besides the girl, a three-yearold boy was also similarly exploited,” said the officer.

Mumbai police spokesperson DCP Rashmi Karandikar said a probe is on and no arrests have been made.
