Police have booked him under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including those dealing with rape of a girl below the age of 12, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>According to police, the girl travelled to and from school daily on the private bus along with other children. On Wednesday, at around 12.30pm, the driver picked up kindergarten and primary school students in Kamothe to drop them home.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>After the other children had alighted at their respective destinations, the three-year-old was allegedly left alone in the bus with the driver. Police said the accused allegedly took advantage of the situation and sexually assaulted the child.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The incident came to light after the girl reached home and complained of abdominal pain. When her grandmother asked her about it, the child allegedly said that the \u201cdriver uncle\u201d had troubled her inside the bus.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The grandmother first raised the matter with the school management and subsequently approached the police. Following the girl&#8217;s medical examination, which police said confirmed sexual assault, a case was registered against the driver.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Police said statements of school management staff would also be recorded as part of the investigation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The accused was produced before a Panvel court on Thursday and remanded in police custody till Saturday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/navi-mumbai\/left-alone-as-last-child-on-route-3-year-old-sexually-assaulted-by-navi-mumbai-bus-driver\/articleshow\/133749576.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Navi Mumbai school bus driver was arrested for allegedly assaulting a three-year-old girl.
