Maujpur Playschool Abuse Video: 3-Year-Old Boy Tied to Chair and Brutally Beaten, Attendant Arrested

A 35-year-old attendant at a playschool in Delhi's Maujpur has been arrested for allegedly abusing a three-year-old boy, the police said. Police registered a case following a complaint filed by the child’s father. Four persons have been named as accused in the case: the school’s director, principal, a 30-year-old teacher, and the attendant. While the attendant remains in custody, the teacher has been asked to join the investigation, and authorities are examining the roles of the director and principal.

Medical Findings and Discovery

The family first noticed something was wrong when their son exhibited physical injuries alongside sudden behavioural changes, becoming terrified of using the washroom and crying frequently at night. They also noticed visible bruises on his face and arms.  According to the father, Navneet Choudhary, a doctor detected severe swelling in both of the boy’s ear canals and expressed suspicion that he had been hit. Delhi Schoolgirl Dies After Being Forced to Stand in Extreme Heat as Punishment for Forgetting Textbook.

“Suddenly on the 18th, my son returned home from school, and right after coming home, he started vomiting. As he began vomiting, he felt dizzy. We immediately took him to a paediatrician, who told us, ‘His eyes are swelling up significantly, take him to an ENT specialist,’” Choudhary told ANI. “I took him to an ENT doctor right away. As soon as the doctor examined him, he got very upset with me, asking, ‘What has happened to him? Both of his eardrums are severely swollen and on the verge of rupturing; his condition is extremely critical.’ Holding the prescription paper, he told me straight away, ‘I am prescribing medication for two days, get a CBC and a CT scan done, or get him admitted,’” Choudhary added. “I asked, ‘Sir, what is the issue? What happened to him?’ He told me that he was beaten continuously and his ears were targeted,” Choudhary told ANI.

CCTV Footage Exposes Abuse

Following the medical examination, Choudhary, who works as a lawyer, demanded access to the school’s CCTV footage. School staff initially cited technical issues, but the next day demanded INR 1,500 to show the video recordings. After the family paid the amount, they were shown footage that purportedly depicted the toddler being pulled by his ears, tied to a chair for hours, kicked, and repeatedly struck. “On the 18th, around 9:40 or 9:45, he was tied up from behind near the apron and continuously tortured. He was repeatedly beaten–sometimes kicked, sometimes grabbed and pulled viciously by his ears. Both of his ears were yanked severely, and he was beaten very brutally,” recounted Choudhary. Delhi School Fees: Govt Sets New Timeline for Fee Regulation From 2026–27.
