On May 7, a court granted bail to the accused, citing multiple factors presented during judicial review. These included CCTV footage indicating that the caretaker had left the junior wing of the school early, a medico-legal report that recorded no physical injuries on the child, his 30 years of previously unblemished service record, and his full cooperation with the investigation process.
Following the bail order, the case took a contentious turn as the child’s mother raised serious allegations. She claimed that a teacher was present inside a school storage room during the incident and further accused the police of issuing threats during the course of the investigation. The police have firmly denied all allegations of harassment and intimidation.
Meanwhile, forensic examination procedures remain ongoing as part of the continuing investigation into the incident. Separately, Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj amplified the family’s version of events through statements shared online, bringing additional public attention to the case.
The case has emerged as a highly sensitive legal and institutional matter, highlighting the complexities surrounding evidence evaluation, child protection protocols within educational institutions, and the judicial process in cases involving serious allegations against school staff.
