The driver and cleaner of a school bus carrying students of a convent school in Hauz Khas were arrested on Thursday for allegedly molesting the school children and making them watch pornographic clips.

A police officer said that Mohammad Shamim and Asgar Ali were arrested after a complaint was received by the police that the two made school children, who travelled in the bus, watch pornographic clips on mobile phones. The two have been charged with Sections 10 and 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

Earlier on Wednesday, a 57-year old private tutor had been arrested allegedly for sexually abusing several children at his house in Rajendra Nagar.

According to the police, the accused, identified as Sudhir Goyal, runs a private coaching centre in the area. He had students aged between 12 to 14 years coming to his house for tuitions. All the victims were boys.

It is alleged that the accused had been molesting the children for the last few months and would make them watch pornographic material as well.
