The school is run by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
The girl was found in an injured condition inside the school and later taken to Sanjay Gandhi hospital. The victim's parents informed the police about the incident on Friday morning after doctors confirmed sexual assault. The girl's private parts are partially damaged, a police officer said.
"The victim was raped by a man inside the school campus on Thursday. Her parents approached us on Friday morning and a case has been registered. The victim could not tell us anything about the attacker. We are investigating the case. We are questioning the male staff, including teachers and a guard," the official added.
Enraged over the incident, locals, including a number of women, staged protests in the locality as well as near the hospital.
A section of the protesters later turned violent near the hospital and pelted stones at vehicles and broke police barricades. Some policemen and locals were injured in the incident.
As protests spread, the gates of the hospital were closed for sometime.
The protesters alleged police were not actively pursuing the case and arresting the culprits.
At least three government-run buses, PCR vans and some private vehicles were damaged in the incident. Police have been deployed in large numbers to ensure no untoward situation in the locality.
Condemning the rape of the girl, NCW chairperson Mamta Sharma said incidents like these are on the rise and unless tough punishment is incorporated, the mindset of such offenders will not change.
"This is a case of rape of a seven-year-old girl. I believe that tough action should be initiated...I will also send the matter for enquiry in two to three days," she said.
Reacting to the incident, North Delhi Municipal Corporation promised all possible help to the victim.
"We are looking into the matter and gathering more details. The information is sketchy at this point but if someone from the school is found guilty, we will take immediate action," Mahendra Nagpal, Leader of the House in NDMC, said.
Rekha Gupta, NDMC education committee chairperson, said the child was picked up by her mother on Thursday afternoon. "It was only today morning that the parents complained to the police about the incident that they said happened in the afternoon," she said.
"However, we immediately presented all the school staff before police for investigation. The child has not identified anyone from the school as of now...We have already told the family that we will support them not just in the investigation but also extend medical help to the child," Gupta said.
