Chandigarh: National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairman Priyank Kanungo on Saturday visited the school in connection with a case related to the sexual abuse of a child at Sehwag International School in Jhajjar, Haryana. He enquired about the incident while interacting with the school staff and other students. During this time police officers were also present with them. Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag is the founder of this school and his wife Aarti is its chairperson.

Priyank Kanungo said that strict action will be taken against any person concerned who has been negligent in action in this case. Not giving a complaint to the police after a complaint in any case of the POSCO act is a violation of Section 19. In this, a case has to be registered against those who were negligent. He said that when the NCPCR report comes in this matter, it will be made public. The report will also highlight who all were involved in the sexual abuse of the child. Strict action will also be taken against those responsible.

Regarding the conversation with the father of the victim, Priyank said that he has not spoken to the complainant. They belonged to another state, so he has gone back. He said that strict action will be taken against whoever is guilty in this case. Police action is underway. On why the CCTV cameras were switched off, he said that guidelines have been given to the police for this. Once the investigation is completed, the report will be made public. At the same time, he told that today 40 thousand cases of POCSO are registered in the whole country. The commission takes the matter of harassment against children very seriously.
