Hundereds gathered outside the school demanding action against the acussed and demanded the institution's license be cancelled.
Over 200 persons who gathered there demanded that the school should be shut down immediately; they'd brought placards that said that schildren's safety was school's responsibility.
Reportedly, a 40-year-old peon, employed at the school sexually assaulted a 4-year-old girl in the school's washroom.
The peon had muffled the girl who cried for help and threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the sexual assault.
A teacher however had arrived at the spot and locked the peon; later she tidied the girl and sent her back home.
The peon was terminated on the spot by the school administration after the incident was brought to the authorities' notice.
The parents were not informed by either the teacher or the school administration about the incident.
In an attempt to hush the incident, the school administration did not report the incident to the cops either which angered the parents.
The incident came to light after the girl told her mother about the assault. The girl informed her mother of the pain she was experiencing in her private parts who then took her in confidence prompting the girl to talk about sexual assault.
