On Saturday, a man allegedly attempted to sexually assault an 11-year-old girl on the premises of the government school at Kasavanahalli in HSR Layout police limits.
The victim, a class three student was standing inside the school compound, when the suspect dragged her by her hand and tried to sexually assault her.
When the headmistress raised alarm, the wrongdoer fled the spot. The headmistress enlightened the police that she had not seen the person earlier near the school.
An attempt-to-rape case has been booked and search is on for the miscreant, said the police
