Greater Noida: CCTV footage retrieved from the premises of the Greater Noida school has established that the lifguard deployed at its swimming pool had indulged in “bad touch” with the three-year-old child who was allegedly raped on July 12, police have said.Though many areas are not covered by CCTV cameras, one footage shows the accused following the girl towards a portion of the swimming pool and she returning in an “unstable state,” an officer said.Manoj Pant, SHO of Surajpur, told TOI that from the CCTV footage, it is clear that the accused, Chandi Das, had touched the girl inappropriately inside the swimming pool at least twice.“The corridor between the swimming pool and the classroom is not covered in the footage.
