Airport Police in Pune have registered a case after a schoolboy was allegedly subjected to an obscene act by cleaning staff at a piano class, raising serious safety concerns.
Pune, December 10, 2025 – Airport Police in Pune have filed a criminal case following an alleged obscene act against a schoolboy during a piano class. The boy had gone for his regular session when, according to the complaint, a member of the cleaning staff behaved inappropriately. The incident has sparked widespread concern among parents and prompted calls for tighter safety protocols at private learning centres.
Police said the complaint was made after the child informed his parents, who approached authorities immediately. Officers registered a case and began an investigation under relevant child-protection sections. The accused employee worked as part of the cleaning staff at the academy and was not involved in teaching activities. Investigators are examining how such an incident could occur inside a space meant for children’s learning.
The case has highlighted gaps in screening and supervision at smaller academies and extracurricular centres. Many such places operate with limited staff and often recruit support personnel without rigorous background checks. Parents argue that regardless of job profile, anyone with access to children should be vetted thoroughly. The incident has prompted renewed discussion about whether current rules are enough to keep children safe outside formal schools.
Parents of students enrolled in the academy expressed shock and demanded accountability. Some said they had trusted the institute because it focused on music education and assumed that safety standards were in place. Several parents have now asked the academy to issue a clear safety policy, while others are reconsidering whether to continue classes until the investigation is complete.
Child-rights activists say this is not an isolated concern. They have urged authorities to bring stricter guidelines for private training centres, including verification of all staff, installation of CCTV cameras in common areas and mandatory reporting procedures. According to them, many incidents go unreported because children fear speaking up or do not fully understand that something wrong has occurred.
The academy may face scrutiny over whether it had proper supervision or preventive measures. Police are also looking at whether there were any earlier complaints or warning signs. Officers say they will record statements of staff and parents and check if any other students were affected. Until the investigation is complete, the accused remains under legal process and further action will follow the findings.
For now, the case serves as a warning for parents and institutions across Pune. While classrooms and coaching centres are expected to be safe spaces, the incident shows that risks can arise anywhere and that safeguarding measures must extend beyond regular schools. Authorities hope that stronger checks and procedures will prevent similar cases in the future.
