It is further submitted that despite repeated requests by the father of the victim child for registration of the case, the police is not inclined to register an FIR against the accused school teacher namely, Ramjit Yadav. Moreover, despite all these facts having been brought to the notice of Additional Director of Education, MCD Shri Kanwar Singh, no action has been taken so far against the accused.
