Bangalore shocker: School where 3-year-old was raped, reopens!

Bangalore, Oct 27: The Bangalore school where a 3-year-old girl child was brutally

, has reopened on Monday, Oct 27.

The school was unable to provide any evidences to show that it is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

The incident took place at Orchids The International School near HMT Theatre in HMT Colony Sector-2 in Jalahalli police station limits.
