In Badlapur, Maharashtra, protests broke out after two kindergarten girls, aged three and four, were allegedly sexually abused by a school attendant. The incident led to angry demonstrations with protestors vandalizing the school and blocking train services at Badlapur station. The accused was arrested, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde directed that charges be filed under the POCSO Act. He ordered the case to be fast-tracked. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by Inspector General Aarti Singh will probe the case, while the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights announced an investigation into the delayed FIR registration.
