2 gym instructors held for 6-year-old's alleged gangrape

Reddi, however, said, police would continue interrogation of Mustafa to find out his “indirect” involvement.

“The initial suspicion was on him (Mustafa) in terms of the conduct, the behaviour, some amount of circumstantial evidence and the kind of material that was found on his personal possessions also indicated to such a tendency as we moved on in the investigation,” Reddi said.

Police had seized from Mustafa a laptop which they said contained content relating to child pornography.

Reddi said one more case has been booked under POCSO Act against Mustafa in the Whitefield Police Station for his alleged sexual misbehaviour when he was employed with another school, Deens Academy, before joining Vibgyor High School.

Deens Academy Principal Shanthi Menon had said that after repeated warnings by way of counseling and memos, when it was found Mustafa continued to touch girls while he guided them through their sporting activity, his services were terminated.

Asked if any action would be taken against the Vibgyor High School Principal, Reddi said “whatever information we have received so far, we have acted on such people. If we get any further information on culpability of anybody else, we will also act on it.”

Reddi said the Vibgyor School sexual assault case has been solved in terms of identifying the culprits who have actually committed the offence.

The incident had raised questions about safety of school- going children with the public outcry prompting police to come out with a raft of tough guidelines for security of students with a warning that failure to comply with them would invite prosecution.

Vibgyor High School reopened yesterday, 10 days after it was shut following the incident.
