A six-year-old student was allegedly raped by a housekeeping staff in a toilet of a private school in Delhi, reports said on Thursday.

According to media reports, the student was assaulted by the housekeeping staff after she had gone to the girl’s bathroom.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident.

The incident came to light, when the minor went home and told her parents about the sexual assault. The parents then went back to the school and met the Principal,” the DCP said.  Biswal said the parents informed police about the crime around 8 pm on Wednesday.

Police have arrested the accused after the girl identified her. A case of rape under sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) has been registered. The accused had joined the school three-months ago, reports said.

The case of sexual assault comes nearly a month after a Class 2 student Pradyuman was found dead with his throat-slit inside the toilet of Ryan International School in Gurugram.
