Mumbai, August 20: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday reacted strongly to the case of sexual abuse of two girls at a school in Thane’s Badlapur. Speaking to the press, Uddhav demanded a fast-track trial in the case and asked for speedy justice. Uddhav also mentioned the Shakti Bill that the MVA government had planned to bring to enhance women security in the state but couldn’t as his government was toppled.
Talking to reporters, Thackeray took potshots at the Maharashtra government and said that on one hand the government was running the Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin scheme for women but that the daughters of sisters are not safe.
Uddhav also said that there was a need to stop cases of crimes against women which were being reported from states across the country.
Uddhav Attacks BJP
The former chief minister made a sensational claim and said that there were reports which claimed that the school where the girls were allegedly sexually abused was linked to BJP leaders. However, Uddhav added that he doesn’t want to do politics over the issue and that other parties should refrain from politicing the issue as well.
“Even if the accused is related to the BJP, action should be taken in the matter immediately,” said Uddhav Thackeray in his comment.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP, Priyanka Chaturvedi also demanded justice for the victims in the case and asked for speedy trial in the case. She also added that women who participated in the Badlapur protests were asking for justice and not the “Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin Yojana”.

Bir Mecca Masjid bomb blast implementation of UAPA

Mumbai: Police has implemented UAPA Act in the Bir Ard Masla Mecca Masjid blast case. On the midnight of March 30, Vijay Agon and Shri Ram Ashok placed a bomb in the mosque and exploded it. This explosion was done with the help of jetliner and detonator. In this case, the police had earlier registered a case under Arms Act and other sections, but after that Muslim organizations had demanded to prosecute the accused under UAPA Act and NSA.
The Beed blast was investigated by the local crime branch, in which the crime branch found that the explosion was very powerful and detonators were also used along with jetliner rods. On this basis, UAPA Act has been implemented on the recommendation of the Crime Branch. Police have registered a case against both the terrorists under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA. Since the Beed blast, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating it along with the police. The ATS is investigating the connection and financing of terrorists in this case, including how jetliner rods were made available to the accused and who provided them jetliner rods without license or permit. Along with this, investigation is also going on to find out how many more people and conspirators are involved in this case. ATS said that investigation is going on every aspect and point of the Beed bomb blast, however, ATS has so far questioned many people in this case, including family members and well-wishers of the accused as well as their friends and acquaintances. ATS is trying to uncover the conspiracy before the blast in the Beed Mecca Masjid blast case because before the blast, accused Vijay Agon had released a video and uploaded it on the status threatening Muslims to remove the mosque and only after that the blast took place here. The local police had also registered a case of spreading religious hatred against the accused a day earlier and the mosque was blown up the next day.
