On August 20, massive protests broke out in Badlapur, Thane, led by outraged parents and locals after two young girls were allegedly sexually abused by a school attendant. The situation turned violent as protesters vandalized the school, halted trains, and pelted stones, demanding justice.
India's number one and most followed Super Prime Time News Show, ‘Aaj Ki Baat-Rajat Sharma Ke Saath' was launched just before the 2014 general elections.
Police said accused Akshay Shinde had abused the two girls in the toilet of the school and was working as a cleaner on contract via a third-party company and was employed on August 1.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi said all three parties of the MVA will participate in this day-long bandh and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray demanded that the sexual abuse case of school girls in Badlapur be fast-tracked and speedy justice ensured to the victims.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said the protest at Badlapur was politically motivated because the protesters were not local residents.
The school teacher used to show obscene videos to the girls. After the girls called the toll-free number of the Child Welfare Committee, the case came to light and the accused was eventually arrested.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi condemned the disturbing incident in Badlapur, where two kindergarten girls were reportedly sexually abused at a school. She expressed that she was simultaneously shocked, saddened, and enraged by the event.
The state government has already ordered the setting up of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged sexual abuse of two female students.
While the efforts were on to pacify the protesters, the police and other authorities were finding it tough to control the situation. Additionally, a call for Badlapur bandh has also been given by several organisations against the gruesome incident.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said an inquiry led by a woman IPS officer has been ordered into an incident of alleged abuse of two school girls in Badlapur in Thane district.
10 long-distance trains were diverted via alternate routes due to the protest, the Central Railway said.
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde said his government is in the process to fast-track this case, and no one will be spared if found guilty.
