Delhi High Court Cancels Bail of Janakpuri School Caretaker Accused of Child RapePreviousNext

The Delhi High Court on June 29 cancelled the bail of a 57-year-old private school caretaker accused of raping a three-year-old girl in Janakpuri, directing him to surrender on July 1. The decision overturned the trial court's May 7 bail order following appeals by Delhi Police and the complainant. The incident reportedly occurred on April 30, with the child alleging assault in an isolated school area. The Delhi government has also issued a show-cause notice to the school over safety concerns.
