In Badlapur, Maharashtra, a school sweeper, Akshay Shinde, was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two four-year-old girls in a school bathroom. The incident triggered widespread protests, with outraged parents calling for capital punishment and halting local trains between Kalyan and Karajat. The school has suspended key staff, including the principal, and terminated its contract with Shinde’s employer. Local police faced backlash for delaying the FIR, leading to the transfer of the senior inspector. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has sent a team to investigate.
