According to officials, Shinde grabbed an officer's weapon and opened fire at the police, who then fired back in self-defense. Two officers were injured in the exchange of gunfire. Shinde was hospitalized in a critical condition but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
The Badlapur rape case has been making headlines since August 17, when Shinde was apprehended for sexually abusing two girls, aged four and five, in a school toilet. The incident sparked widespread outrage and protests in the area, with many demanding justice for the victims.
Shinde, who worked as a cleaner at the school, was arrested five days after the incident. The local police were initially in charge of the investigation, but after public outcry about major flaws in their handling of the case, the Maharashtra government created a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to take over.
The SIT is currently investigating the case, and a case has been filed against the school chairman and secretary under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for failing to report the incident to the police right away and for negligence. The Bombay High Court is also supervising the investigation.
The incident has raised questions about the safety and security of children in schools and the need for stricter laws to prevent such incidents. The government has assured the public that justice will be served, and the perpetrators will be punished accordingly.
In the meantime, the police are investigating the circumstances surrounding Shinde's death and the events that led to the exchange of gunfire.
The Badlapur rape case is a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and awareness to prevent such incidents. It is essential that we, as a society, come together to ensure that our children are safe and protected.
The Maharashtra government has faced criticism for its handling of the case, but the creation of the SIT and the supervision of the Bombay High Court are seen as positive steps towards ensuring justice for the victims.
