Riteish Deshmukh has condemned reports of two young girls aged three and four who have been raped in Badlapur, Thane. He vented his anger on Twitter, stating that the guilty party should be given “the strictest punishment possible.”
“I am horrified as a parent. Two 4 year olds were violated sexually by the school’s male janitor. Schools should have as much safety for children as their own homes. This devil should get the severest possible punishment. That was how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj worked during his time; these laws need to come back into play.”
As a parent am absolutely disgusted, pained and raging with anger!!
Two 4 year old girls were sexually assaulted by the male cleaning staff member of the school. Schools are supposed to be as safe a place for kids as their own homes. Harshest punishment needs to be given to this…
