At the time the country is reeling under the horrifying incident of rape and murder of a resident doctor in Kolkata, another shocking incident has come to light in Badlapur near Mumbai. Two four-year-old girls were sexually assaulted by a school sweeper in a reputed school in Badlapur. The incident took place on August 12 and 13, initial reports say.

The citizens have now called for a citywide shutdown over the delay by the school administration in filing an FIR and taking action against the accused.

The citizens are protesting outside the school demanding answers for the safety of children, especially girl students in the school. The protest is receiving widespread support from local unions including rickshaw drivers, bus operators, local shopowners, and political parties.

As per reports, the sexual abuse of the minors came to light after the girl refused to attend school. After a medical examination, the truth was known. Shockingly, it was confirmed later that another girl also underwent the abuse. Allegedly, a sweeper of the school, working as a contract employee, had sexually abused the girls.

The citizens are furious because the parents were made to wait over 12 hours to file an FIR. The school administration also did not take swift action against the culprit. As per reports, the school administration has suspended the principal and class teacher and discontinued the contract with the agency which was providing sweepers.

The citizens are not only protesting outside the school but also on the platforms of Badlapur railway stations demanding justice for school girls.

Mumbai: SIO has demanded strict action against the hooliganism of Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad on offering prayers in Mumbai’s Kalyan College. Here, State Secretary SIO Aziz Ahmed said that
The incident that took place at Ideal College of Pharmacy and Research in Kalyan is highly condemnable and unacceptable, where hooligans belonging to Bajrang Dal entered the college campus, threatened and harassed Muslim students for offering prayers and even tried to make them sit in front of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This incident is a direct attack on religious freedom and the sanctity of the educational campus.

SIO strongly condemns this incident and expresses complete solidarity with the affected students. We demand that strict action be taken against the accused at the earliest, the college administration ensure the safety of the students and take concrete steps to prevent such incidents in the future.

We appeal to the entire student community to maintain religious harmony and remain united against such sectarian attitudes and demonstrate strong solidarity.
