NEW DELHI: The First Information Report (FIR) filed by the mother of a five-year-old girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a Class 12 student of the same city school and the son of a Kenyan diplomat, states that the incident came to light when the Class 1 student used words like “boobs” and “God promise,” which her parents found highly alarming.
According to the FIR, which is in possession of TNIE, the accused allegedly touched the girl’s private parts, causing an injury. She also recalled seeing the accused, wearing a yellow shirt, twice while travelling on the school bus.
“Since when, we found out about this, she had gone through two medical tests and had gone though questionings in the last 48 hours. She is a 5 years old girl and has gone through a lot of trauma since then and the incident had happened sometime during the last month (August), which she confessed on September 16,” read the FIR registered at GK-1 police station on September 18.
The FIR further stated that as the survivor is very scared of the accused who harassed her, it all come into light when she was using words like ‘boobs’ and ‘God promise’, which we found very surprising also she was using the phrase “secret promise”.
“Also we had been questioning her and she confessed as written in my statement above. Right now she is mentally and physically exhausted after the questioning and the medical examination… I would request you to investigate into the matter which our daughter was molested and the culprit to be caught for the safety of the children in K.R. Mangalam Global School GK1,” read the complaint of the mother.
A mother in the national capital is running from pillar to post, seeking justice for her five-year-old daughter. The minor is in Class 1, and the accused student is an adult. The FIR has been registered under Section 75(2) (sexual harassment) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 10 (aggravated sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act in Greater Kailash police station.
Despite the gravity of the crime, the alleged police inaction due to diplomatic immunity has left the survivor’s family struggling for accountability. Sources told this newspaper that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has sought the removal of diplomatic immunity for the accused from the Kenyan government.
The waiver of immunity is a prerequisite for taking legal action against anyone enjoying such immunity.
