With the hectic schedules that surround a parents’ life, children are dropped off at daycare centers. But what if such places become a place of crime?
A six-year-old girl was raped in a crèche allegedly by the husband of its owner in adjoining Palghar district, Maharashtra, police said on Tuesday.
The girl’s mother works in a factory in the district and would drop her daughter at the child care center, run by a woman, in Vasai, Maharashtra before leaving for her workplace, the police said in a release.
The husband of the crèche owner has been booked for the crime under relevant sections of the IPC and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act said Deputy Superintendent of Police (Vasai) Vishwas Valvi.
The 30-year-old accused has not been arrested yet, the release said.
The alleged crime took place on November 22, but a complaint was filed by the victim’s mother yesterday at the Valiv police station, it said.
The victim was the only girl going to the crèche, police said.
