The West Bengal Police on Friday arrested two teachers of Kolkata's GD Birla Centre for Education school for sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl.
Also, the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education has formed a three-member committee to investigate the matter and submit a report within 24 hours.
The school came under the ire of its students' guardians after parents of the minor and her doctors said she was sexually assaulted by school's physical education teacher.
Principal Sharmila Nath told that the school was also conducting an internal investigation into the matter.
"We are also doing an internal investigation, and I assure you that safety and security will be given top priority," she said.
