Riteish Deshmukh has strongly condemned the shocking news of two young girls, aged three and four, being sexually assaulted at a school in Badlapur. The actor took to X to express his outrage and demand the harshest punishment for the perpetrator. The assault reportedly took place in a school washroom.
As a parent, Deshmukh voiced his profound disgust and distress, advocating for the reintroduction of the chaurang punishment used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He emphasized the need to reinstate such measures to ensure justice.
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…— Riteish Deshmukh (@Riteishd) August 20, 2024
In addition, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “benign” intervention to address their concerns, including the implementation of a central law to protect healthcare workers and the establishment of hospitals as secure zones with mandatory safety measures.
