Badlapur Sexual Assault Case: Bombay HC slams cops for failure to arrest two school trustees
Bombay High Court on Tuesday pulled up the special investigation team probing the Badlapur sexual assault incident and questioned why they have still not arrested the two trustees of the school.
«The police goes outside (the state) to nab (an accused). How come they have not been able to apprehend these two? Are they waiting for them to get anticipatory bail,» asked a division bench of justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Prithviraj Chavan.
HC was hearing the suo motu PIL after the assault incident when two kindergarten students of a school were sexually assaulted in the school's toilet by one of the employees.
The observations came on a day when another bench rejected the anticipatory bail plea filed by the chairman and secretary of the school. The court held that the school management was 'prima facie' aware of the incident before August 16.
«The victims are minors. The trauma that they have endured will have a profound impact on their adolescent years leaving them with long lasting and irreparable psychological scars. The applicants hold important positions in the school where the unfortunate incident took place, thus there are chances that they may tamper (with) the evidence and pressurise the witnesses, who are employees of the schools,» said a bench of justice RN Laddha while rejecting their bail applications.
