Assam University staff arrested for allegedly molesting minor girl on campus

A 57-year-old non-teaching employee of Assam University Silchar (AUS), who allegedly molested a 14-year-old girl at the premises of university's department of law, has been arrested, police said. The alleged incident happened on Friday morning when the minor girl went to the university with a relative, who works there as a cleaning staff, her family members said.

According to the family members, a relative of the cleaning staff was admitted in Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) and the little girl was attending that person on Thursday night. On Friday morning, the cleaning staff had to perform his duty at the University, so he took the little girl along and asked her to wait there for a while.

"She was waiting outside an empty classroom when a senior staff member saw her and dragged her inside the classroom. He tried to undress her with an attempt to rape her but she was rescued by other staff and students," the family members said.
