The former chief minister, while speaking to the reporters as per the PTI report, claimed that the school where the Badlapur sexual assault case happened was linked to Bharatiya Janata Party leaders. 

"The case should be fast-tracked, and the victims should be ensured speedy justice," said Uddhav Thackeray.

An attendant at the Badlapur school was arrested on August 17 for allegedly sexually abusing two girl students of the kindergarten who are aged three and four years. The PTI report cited the complaint stated that the accused sexually abused the girls in the school toilet. 

Reportedly, the school management has suspended the principal, a class teacher and a female attendant over the Badlapur sexual assault case. 

Earlier on August 20, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde directed the police to invoke attempt to rape charge against the arrested accused of Badlapur sexual assault case and further stated that the case will be fast-tracked and a special public prosecutor will be appointed. 

CM Shinde's statement came in the wake of massive protests by parents who came on tracks at Badlapur station and blocked local trains on Tuesday. Some video clips went viral on the parents storming the school premises as well. Their protest affected the movement of suburban trains and a handful of long-distance trains had to be diverted as well.
