Maharashtra School Molestation News Updates: Angry parents of school children and locals stage massive protest at Badlapur railway station in Maharashtra’s Thane district after two girls were allegedly sexually abused by an attendant appointed by the school authorities. Thousands of angry parents and local citizens blocked the path of trains to draw the attention of the administration towards their demands.

Due to the protests, movement of trains on up and down routes has been affected since around 8 am. On August 17, police arrested a school attendant for abusing two girls, aged three and four, studying in kindergarten. According to the complaint, he abused the girls in the school toilet.

Taking cognizance of the incident, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde said that he has directed the police to register a case of attempt to rape against the accused.
