The headmistress of a well-known school has been suspended, and two staff members responsible for the children have been removed from their positions following the public outrage in Badlapur sexual assault case, the officials said on Tuesday.
Locals have demanded death penalty for the accused in the Badlapur school sexual assault case. Two kids, aged four, were sexually assaulted by a 23-year-old male attendant of the school in the washroom a few days ago. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis (CM) has announced that a special investigation team (SIT) under a senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer has been formed to probe the case.
