The alleged molestation of a six-year-old girl student sparked protests with over 100 parents demonstrating outside the premises of an English-medium school in Kolkata on Monday.
No formal complaint has been lodged either by the girl's parents or by the school authorities, police sources said.
"We have not received any complaint from anybody regarding any such incident. But taking cognisance of the parent’s demands we have sent a police team there," police sources said.
The agitating parents alleged that the six-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by a driver of the school bus last Monday when he was dropping her home after a rehearsal for a school function.
"The incident happened last week and we came to know about it. The school authorities should take an action into it," an enraged guardian said.
"We want the authorities to react immediately and take necessary steps to ensure the safety of our wards," another parent said.
