Badlapur Case: महाराष्ट्र (Maharashtra) के उपमुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस (devendra fadnavis) ने गुरुवार को बदलापुर यौन उत्पीड़न (badlapur assault) के आरोपी अक्षय शिंदे (akshay shinde) की मुठभेड़ पर पुलिस का समर्थन किया। उन्होंने कहा कि यह फायरिंग आत्मरक्षा में की गई थी और अगर पुलिस पर हमला होता है, तो वह ‘ताली नहीं बजाएगी।’
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday expressed support for the Thane Police over the shooting of a sexual assault suspect in Badlapur, stating that the suspect was shot as an act of self-defense by the police. Akshay Shinde, who was taken in custody for allegedly sexually abusing two four-year-old girls at a school toilet in Badlapur, was shot in an alleged encounter with police earlier this week. This happened while the accused was being brought from Taloja Central Jail to the Thane Crime branch office under transit remand in another case when he opened fire on the police with their revolver near the Mumbra bypass.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut alleged on Thursday that the accused in the Badlapur sexual abuse case was killed by the police in an attempt to protect some of the school’s office-bearers who were linked to the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Raut claimed that this was done to save them by destroying evidence.
The police had said a 23-year-old janitor, who was arrested last month for allegedly sexually abusing two four-year-old girls at a school in Badlapur in the Thane district, was killed in “retaliatory firing” when he snatched a police officer’s service weapon and opened fire on Monday.
“The encounter was an attempt to save the school office bearers, and to destroy the proof. This all has come out in the petition filed in the court,” Raut said.
