The special investigation team (SIT) formed to investigate the sexual assault case of two minor girls in Badlapur has begun its investigation. The team has taken the statements of the girls and their parents, and is conducting a thorough investigation to ensure that the accused, including the school management, receive strict punishment. The mother of one of the girls told mid-day that IPS officer Aarti Singh, the SIT chief, took down their statements on Wednesday. The mother stated that they had no complaints regarding the investigation and did not wish to comment further.
When questioned about rumours circulating on social media about death and suicide, the mother clarified that these were fake and that they were safe. Sudhar Pathare, deputy commissioner of police (Zone 4), said people should not believe in rumours and messages that are going viral on social media. “Also, it is the responsibility of us all to maintain peace and not circulate rumours or fake messages,” he said.
