School bus driver held for molesting nursery student

The JJ Marg police have arrested a private minivan driver for sexually abusing a four-year-old student. The driver, identified as Shahbaz Noor Mohammed Shaikh (25), was arrested on Wednesday after the girl's mother approached police. 

According to the police, Shaikh has been driving the Mazgaon school van for the past two months, and allegedly molested the girl on several occasions, from February 1-10, while dropping her to the SoBo school. 

In her statement, the victim's mother said that on Wednesday morning, the girl refused to go to the school and started crying. On being questioned, she told her that she will not go to the school in the van. This raised her mother's suspicions. 

When her mother enquired, the girl said the driver was a "bad man" and she did not want to go with him. She further revealed that the driver had been touching her. 

The victim's mother checked her private parts and asked her if he had touched her at those places as well. The girl replied that he had done so several times. 

"We will seek the help of experts to record her statement and counsel her," said Krishna Prakash, additional police commissioner (south region).
