Delhi Playschool Attendant Arrested After Alleged Abuse of Three-Year-Old BoyPreviousNext

A three-year-old boy at a playschool in Delhi's Maujpur was allegedly tied to a chair, beaten, and physically abused over several days, leading to severe ear injuries. The child's parents noticed behavioral changes and bruises, prompting medical examinations that revealed swollen eardrums. CCTV footage showed the abuse, resulting in the arrest of a 35-year-old attendant and investigations into the school's director, principal, and teacher. The Delhi government has ordered the playschool's sealing and pledged strict legal action against those responsible.
