In a shocking incident, a manager of a private school was arrested for attempting to rape a six-year-old girl student in Muzaffarnagar's Jansath town, police said.
The accused, Ajay Garg, believed to be in his early 30s, was arrested yesterday from his residence following a complaint by the girl's father, Circle Officer SKS Pratap said.
According to police, Garg had been sexually harassing the kindergarten student for some days but out of fear, the victim kept mum.
On Friday, Garg took the girl to a vacant room in the school and tried to sexually assault her, but the girl raised an alarm, police said.
Gripped by panic, Garg let the girl go. She then informed her parents about the ordeal as well as the previous sexual advances that the accused had made.
Garg has been booked under various sections of the IPC and the POCSO Act, police said.
