Lashing out at the opposition, he said, "The people who are criticising now have not done anything during their regime. We are initiating many actions," reported ANI.
Notably, a report prepared by the Women and Child Welfare Department and the Education Ministry in the Badlapur sexual assault case was handed over to Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar on Monday.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi criticised the Maharashtra government. "As expected CCTV images since the day of the crime in the Badlapur assault case are missing, as per a report quoting Minister Deepak Kesarkar. How can the school be allowed to get away with such criminality? Is it because of the connections that the management enjoys with the MahaJhoothi Sarkar? Justice for our girls is a must," she said in a post on X.
