Maharashtra School Period Check: Principal, Peon Arrested
A shocking incident has unfolded in a Maharashtra school, leaving the community reeling in disbelief. A principal and peon have been arrested after allegedly forcing minor girls to undergo a humiliating “period check” involving strip-searching. The incident sparked outrage and prompted the filing of a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case.
Details of the Disturbing Incident
The incident allegedly occurred after bloodstains were discovered in a school bathroom. Rather than handling the situation with sensitivity and respect, the principal and peon reportedly resorted to the invasive and traumatizing practice of strip-searching several minor girls. This blatant violation of privacy and personal dignity has rightly sparked widespread condemnation.
Legal Action and Community Response
Swift legal action has been taken against the accused, with both the principal and peon now under arrest. The POCSO case underscores the severity of the alleged crime. The incident has ignited a conversation about child protection protocols in schools and the crucial need for sensitivity and respect in handling such matters. Support services are being offered to the affected girls and their families. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as authorities continue their work.
