Thane: Amid violent protests in Maharashtra, the Bombay High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the alleged sexual assault of two girls at a school in Badlapur. The matter will be heard today, on Thursday, by a division bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Prithviraj Chavan.
The alleged sexual assault of two fourth-grade girls at a school in Maharashtra’s Badlapur has sparked outrage. On August 17 police arrested an attendant of the school for allegedly abusing the girls. This incident has created massive outrage among the people in Badlapur.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MSCPCR) has recommended the establishment of special branches or “mini-police stations” for women and children in every police station across the state. This development came in the wake of an alleged delay in registering the crime by the police in Badlapur.
Earlier, on Tuesday, police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the protestors gathered at the Badlapur railway station after the demonstrators blocked the railway track. As protestors blocked the track, 12 mail express trains were diverted and 30 local trains were partially cancelled.
