SHARJAH ,2011,December31: The Sharjah Police are awaiting the forensic report to conclude the investigation into the alleged molestation of an Indian kindergarten girl by a school bus supervisor, who has been detained.
Police sources said the alleged incident took place last week. The four-year-old girl’s parents lodged a complaint with the police on Monday that the 35-year-old bus supervisor molested their daughter and that they took her to Al Qasimi Hospital for a medical check-up.
The parents said when their daughter returned home after school, they noticed semen stains on her dress. When they enquired from her what had happened, she described the incident.
The police source said they are still interrogating the suspect and that they are waiting for the forensic report. The bus supervisor had been working in the school for more than two years. Sharjah Indian School authorities confirmed that he had a clean record and that there had not been any complaints against him. The issue would be investigated by the legal authorities, they said.
Al Qasimi Hospital confirmed that its emergency section received the girl and conducted a medical examination. The report has been handed over to the police.
In another development this week, the Indian parents of a four-year-old boy lodged a complaint with the Al Ghareb police station that an Indian watchman of their building tried to rape their son. The watchman allegedly dragged the boy into his room, tried to assault him but let him off when heard someone’s footsteps. When the boy got home, he informed the parents about the incident. The police arrested the watchman and are investigating the case.
In Dubai, three men were charged with molesting a four-year-old girl in a school bus last year, but they were acquitted by the court. The alleged incident sparked a furore with the community members expressing their concern on the transportation of children in school buses and proposed the appointment of woman supervisors in buses to prevent such incidents. Some schools have already started posting women staff in school buses.
