Authorities have suspended internet services in Badlapur, Maharashtra, following massive protests over the sexual assault of two young girls at a kindergarten. The suspension aims to prevent the spread of misinformation and control the escalating situation. The protests, which saw residents blocking railway lines, caused significant disruption to train services. Police resorted to lathicharge to disperse the crowds. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assured that the case will be fast-tracked, with strict action promised against the accused. The internet shutdown is part of efforts to maintain peace as tensions continue to rise in the area.
