SS Mota Singh School Case: AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj Questions ‘Missing File’, New Trustees And Political Links

The three year old rape survivor from Delhi’s SS Mota Singh School remains in hospital after health complications worsened, while Aam Aadmi Party leaders allege political interference and missing government records linked to the school’s trust. AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj claims trust documents have vanished from the Sub Registrar office, raising questions about oversight and possible protection for those connected to the institution.

According to Bharadwaj, the child has now been diagnosed with a severe infection and continues to receive treatment in hospital. The AAP leader expressed concern that the accused school official obtained bail from court only a few days earlier, even as the survivor’s condition deteriorated and the family continued to struggle with both medical and emotional trauma.

SS Mota Singh School rape case: medical timeline and family’s distress

Describing the sequence of events, Bharadwaj said the family rushed the child to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital during the night after the alleged assault at SS Mota Singh School. A medical examination reportedly took place around 2:15 a.m., and the doctor informed the mother that the child’s hymen had ruptured, but this specific finding was later not written in the formal medical report.

Bharadwaj added that the child’s health did not improve after the first examination, as eating and drinking reportedly decreased sharply and urination became painful. An ultrasound then indicated serious internal complications. On Thursday, the situation became critical enough that the family admitted the child to hospital again, where doctors identified a serious infection and continued monitoring.

The AAP Delhi State President noted, "The parents are in such distress that they are calling and asking what they will do if there is a financial problem and the government does not aid. We have told the family not to worry about money, that they will not be allowed to face any difficulty and should only focus on treatment. But it is extremely shameful that in the national capital Delhi, such a situation has happened to an innocent child who simply went to school."

SS Mota Singh School rape case: AAP questions government and police action

Speaking about the survivor’s present condition, Bharadwaj stated, "Right now, it is not known exactly how the child is doing, but she was admitted to the hospital last night and is still admitted there. The child has been diagnosed with a severe infection. But the irony is that the accused was granted bail by the court just a few days ago."

Bharadwaj criticised the response from the Delhi government and alleged that ministerial inaction has deepened the family’s fears. He said the child’s mother believes political links may have affected the seriousness of the police investigation. According to Bharadwaj, the parents also feel intimidated and claim police officials have threatened them despite the gravity of the alleged crime.

Targeting the Education Department, Bharadwaj said, "On Thursday, Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood spoke on this matter for the first time, even though this is a well known school in his own Janakpuri area. The school is just two minutes away from his house, so he cannot claim that he does not know this school."

Bharadwaj further argued that the presence of school management figures at the police station suggested pressure on investigators. The survivor’s mother reportedly told AAP representatives that school manager Manjeet Singh Aulakh often appeared at the police station whenever the family was summoned, and was seen talking to officials there while the case progressed.

SS Mota Singh School rape case: alleged political links and missing trust file

Outlining the political angle claimed by the family, Bharadwaj said, "Some evidence of the political connection repeatedly mentioned by the victim's family is already in the public domain. Another political connection is with Manjeet Singh Aulakh. His photograph with BJP minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa is available and it is said that both are quite close. The girl's mother said that whenever they were called to the police station, Manjeet Singh Aulakh was often seen speaking with the police there."

He continued, "When we looked about Manjeet Singh Aulakh on the internet, information showed that he is the manager of this school's Janakpuri branch. School authorities said that the principal functions like an employee, whereas the entire administration of the school is handled by the manager. The frequent presence of Manjeet Singh Aulakh, who is close to BJP minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, at the police station speaking with police officials proves that there is indeed a political connection."

The AAP Delhi Chief also highlighted activity on social media connected to the SS Mota Singh (Nila) Charitable Trust, which manages the school. Bharadwaj said a Facebook post by Amarjeet Singh Babbu, reportedly close to minister Parvesh Verma, thanked Verma for making Amarjeet a trustee of the school trust. The post tagged Parvesh Verma and was later deleted, he claimed.

Showing the documents, Bharadwaj said, "In April this year, a man named Amarjeet Singh Babbu, who is said to be close to BJP minister Parvesh Verma, made a Facebook post. In that post, he thanked Delhi's popular minister Parvesh Verma for making him a trustee of SS Mota Singh School's (Nila) Charitable Trust and also tagged Parvesh Verma in the post. A man is publicly thanking Delhi minister Parvesh Verma for making him a trustee. The question is whether this is Parvesh Verma's trust and what connection does he have with this trust that he can appoint trustees? Shortly afterwards, the Facebook post was deleted."

He added, "That Facebook post had two things. One was a photograph of Amarjeet Singh Babbu with Parvesh Verma. Second, a letterhead of the trust was also uploaded along with the post. It stated that four new people were being given membership of the trust for fulfilling the trust's objectives and development. These four people included Prof. Dr Virendra Kumar Aggrawal, Swati Garg, Amarjeet Singh and Manish Gupta."

Bharadwaj said, "The name Manish Gupta sounds familiar, but his address or phone number is not known, so it is unclear why he was brought into this trust. Swati Garg could also be an educationist or someone close to a political leader. Amarjeet Singh's identity became known because he himself uploaded the Facebook post thanking Parvesh Verma."

SS Mota Singh School rape case: structure of the trust and property details

Explaining the trust’s structure, Bharadwaj stated, "A trust generally consists of five to seven people who run the school. The trust running SS Mota Singh School is called S.S. Mota Singh (Nila) Charitable Trust. This trust owns properties worth nearly ₹500 crore. It has 7.5 acres in Paschim Vihar, around two and a half acres in Janakpuri and another separate 500 yard plot. The game in school trusts works like this: two trustees resign and two new people come in. Then two more resign and two more are inducted. Gradually, the old trustees disappear and new trustees take over, out of whom one person eventually becomes chairman," he added.

Bharadwaj alleged that this pattern allows valuable assets to pass into new hands through undisclosed cash dealings. He said property worth about ₹500 crore can effectively shift ownership through changes in trustees, although trusts are officially non profit bodies. According to Bharadwaj, "Nobody simply hands over a trust for free and leaves for Haridwar," and such transfers tend to involve black money.

Raising concerns about documentation, he said, "Who left this trust and who entered it after the BJP government came to power in the last one year? Only CM Rekha Gupta or Ashish Sood can answer this. The government has the file and this information has to be submitted before the Sub Registrar regarding which trustee exited and who entered. When we checked with the Sub Registrar, where any citizen can inspect files by paying a fee, we were told that the file had gone missing. Everyone understands why that file has been made to disappear."

Earlier, Bharadwaj had disclosed that records of the trust’s trustees, which should be maintained at the Sub Registrar office, were no longer available. He argued that every inclusion or exit within such a trust must be recorded with government authorities, so missing papers raise doubts. AAP has demanded that the Delhi government trace and publish the complete file on the SS Mota Singh trust.

Referring to Education Minister Ashish Sood’s statement, the AAP leader said, "On Thursday, Ashish Sood made a disgraceful statement. He said that Saurabh Bharadwaj should tell which BJP leader or minister has bought stakes in this school. When the Education Minister is from BJP, the Revenue Minister is from BJP, the Chief Minister is from BJP and the Sub Registrar office is also under them, then where will Saurabh Bharadwaj get the papers from? The documents are with the BJP government itself."

Bharadwaj also claimed that political leaders had previously hosted large government-backed events at SS Mota Singh School. He said, "In March, Ashish Sood himself organised a grand bhajan clubbing event inside this school through the Delhi Government. Thousands of people attended it and lakhs, or perhaps even crores of rupees, may have been spent on it. The government never reveals the expenditure and does not even disclose it in the Assembly. CM Rekha Gupta and Ashish Sood were both present at that event. Governments do not organise such large scale programmes in unknown schools using public money."

The AAP Delhi President urged the government to place all trust records in the public domain. He stated, "Ashish Sood should reveal the truth about this trust. Why is he hiding it? If there is nothing to hide, then make the file public. This is a public record and there is nothing secret about it. The government should release the file showing who entered this school trust and who left it, so that everything becomes clear before the public. It is possible that the family is under the impression that due to political reasons the police suppressed the matter, acted loosely and the accused received bail," he added.

Recounting the family’s description of the crime and its aftermath, Bharadwaj said, "That three year old girl is still in the hospital today. Her mother said that she still used to wear diapers while going to school and could not even go to the toilet on her own. Even on the day of the incident, she was wearing a diaper. Such sinful and monstrous people removed that child's diaper and committed this heinous act, while the police are threatening her parents. For the last 14 days, the child has not been able to eat or drink, has not been able to use the toilet and has been continuously vomiting."
