Badlapur School Case update: On August 16, a male cleaning staff member, age 23, is accused of sexually abusing the two four-year-old girls inside their school’s restroom. Since then, a FIR has been filed against the culprit, leading to his arrest.
The parents’ and the community’s indignation has not diminished despite the school’s response to the occurrence. Parents are still not satisfied, even after the school administration fired the nanny and suspended the principal.
Many parents feel that the school has not done enough to ensure their children’s safety, and they are especially enraged by the fact that the administration has not issued a formal apology or given them any guarantees.
Police investigations have found serious weaknesses in the school’s security protocols. The investigation has shown that there were no female attendants in the girls’ restrooms, which is against the fundamental safety protocol in any educational facility. It was also discovered that a large number of the school’s CCTV cameras were broken.
To look into the sexual assault cases, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered the creation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT). Additionally, he has mandated that the Thane Police Commissioner present a plan today for bringing the matter before a fastrack court.
Badlapur School Case update,Eknath Shinde, the chief minister, has also acknowledged the occurrence.
“I have given the occurrence at Badlapur careful consideration. We have already established a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and will be pursuing legal action against the institution where the incident occurred. No one will be spared if found guilty; we are working to expedite this case,” he declared.
Vijay Wadettiwar, the Maharashtra leader of the opposition, has said that there has been a breakdown in the state of law and order. “This incident will make Maharashtra seem bad. The Congress leader stated, “Everyone is calling for a speedy trial and the accused’s hanging within three months.”
Uddhav Thackeray, the former chief minister, insisted on swift punishment for the offenders. “Nirbhaya (the case) occurred in Delhi ten years ago, and those responsible were punished, but how long did it take? Justice should not be withheld from those who delay it. Politics should not be involved,” he continued.
