A six-year-old schoolgirl has allegedly been raped by a security guard and a gym teacher at a prominent school in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.

The alleged assault happened on July 2, but the girls parents discovered it only a few days ago, after she complained of stomach ache and was taken to hospital.

Police have registered a case, but they are yet to make any arrests.

The incident is the latest in a series of sexual assault cases that have made headlines in India.

Figures show more rapes are being reported in general, which is a sign that the crime is being taken more seriously.
