Badlapur school sexual case has ignited widespread outrage. On August 20, massive protests broke out at Badlapur railway station in Maharashtra’s Thane district. The demonstrations were sparked by an alleged sexual assault involving two minor girls at a local school on August 12 and 13. Protesters were angry over what they claimed was a delay in filing a police report and taking action against the accused by the school administration. They also called for a city-wide shutdown, or `Bandh,` to show their frustration. The protests have disrupted train services at the station. In response to the situation, the state police have arrested a suspect in connection with the case. The protests continue as the community demands faster and more effective responses to the incident.
