Hundreds of outraged parents Thursday stormed into a private school here, protesting the alleged sexual assault of a six-year-old student by two staff members.
"We have detained the accused duo for interrogation on the basis of an FIR though the incident is reported to have occurred July 2," Deputy Commissioner of Police (east) Satish Kumar told IANS here.
