Delhi police have registered a case against four officials of a playschool in Jaffrabad, northeast Delhi, following allegations that a three-and-a-half-year-old boy was physically assaulted and tied to a chair. The child's family reported behavioral changes and injuries, leading to medical examinations that found swelling and bruises. CCTV footage, obtained after the family paid a fee, reportedly shows the child being beaten, tied, and kicked. One attendant has been arrested, while investigations continue against the director, principal, and teacher under child protection laws.
