Kolkata: The warden of the Don Bosco School at Sagardighi in West Bengal, about 238 kilometres from state capital Kolkata, has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 10-year-old student. Father James Soren had been missing since Thursday when the Class V student complained to his parents.

The incident happened on Wednesday night when Soren called the child and allegedly molested him. The child later told his father about the incident – a resident of Raghunathganj, some 277 kilometres from Kolkata – following which a police complaint was lodged.

“Father James Soren was arrested and booked today for sexual assault after being accused by the father of a ten-year-old boy, a boarder in the school’s hostel, of calling him to his room and sexually assaulting him,” Additional Superintendent of Police Mrinal Majumdar said.
