NEW DELHI: A four-year-old girl has allegedly been sexually assaulted at a well-known school in Mumbai, leading to the arrest of a female staffer, police said.
According to news agency PTI, the incident took place on Monday after the girl’s grandmother dropped her off at the school, an official from Goregaon police station said on Wednesday.
