Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Thursday called the sexual assault on two minor girls at their school in Badlapur “absolutely shocking” and said that there cannot be any compromise on the safety and security of girls.
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray targeted Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, saying those who see politics behind the massive protests over the sexual assault are either abnormal or protectors of the culprits. The parents of the accused in the sexual assault case claimed that their son was innocent and he had been framed. Terming the sexual assault in the Badlapur school “absolutely shocking”, a division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithviraj Chavan said that action ought to be taken against the school authorities for not reporting the incident despite being aware of it. It also blasted the police over the delay in registering the FIR.
