Protests erupted in Badlapur, Maharashtra, after two kindergarten girls were sexually assaulted at their school. Relatives of a four-year-old survivor revealed the child remains in shock and suspect the accused cleaning staff member, Akshay Shinde, may have abused other girls. Parents had previously informed a teacher of Shinde’s misconduct, but no action was taken. The school's CCTV system was reportedly non-functional for fifteen days, raising concerns about tampering with evidence. Police delayed filing an FIR, leading to public outrage and vandalism at the school, with three officers now suspended.
