New Delhi, Sept 10 (IBNS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday ordered a magisterial inquiry into the alleged rape of a 5-year-old girl by a peon inside the classroom of a school in Shahdara on Saturday, media reports said.

This is another horrific incident occurring in school premises where the 5-year-old girl was raped allegedly by a peon inside the classroom just a day after a 7-year-old boy was found dead inside a toilet at Ryan International School in Gurugram.

In Saturday's case, the peon, identified as Vikas and working in the school for three years, has been arrested.

According to reports, the accused allegedly took the girl inside an empty class room in the afternoon where he raped the minor.

He then reportedly threatened the girl, who on returning home complained of bleeding and pain in her private parts to her mother.

A medical test was conducted which confirmed the assault.

On Friday, the class two student, identified as Pradyuman, was found dead inside his school's toilet with his throat slit.

The incident took place a little before 8 am.

Following an investigation, the police later arrested the conductor of school bus.

The accused, identified as Ashok Kumar, said that he killed the boy because the latter refused to have sex with him.

He has been working in Ryan International School for the last eight years and is  a resident of Ghamroj village in Gurgaon.

The victim's father said that he saw his son's body an hour after dropping him off at the school gate.
