Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andhare also joined the protest outside Badlapur police station 

On Tuesday, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray demanded that the sexual abuse case of school girls in Badlapur be fast-tracked and speedy justice ensured to the victims

Talking to reporters, Thackeray said on the one hand the state government is running the Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin scheme, but daughters of sisters are not safe

He alleged politics was played over crime against women by targeting certain States

"The (Badlapur) case should be fast-tracked and speedy justice should be ensured to the victims," he said

Thackeray claimed the school where the girls were allegedly abused sexually was linked to BJP leaders

Thousands of protesters on Tuesday blocked railway tracks at Badlapur station over the alleged sexual assault of two four-year-old girls by the school sweeper in the washroom, leading to massive disruption of local train services and diversion of some long-distance trains

Police broke up the protests after nine hours by lathicharging protesters at the railway station

Reacting to the police action, the Leader of the Opposition in the state legislative council, Ambadas Danve, slammed the government and warned of the common people's anger in Maharashtra
