Protests at Badlapur railway station in Thane district of Maharashtra against the alleged Badlapur sexual assault case of two girl students of a kindergarten continued even after six hours on Tuesday as the crowd, including several women, refused to heed pleas of the state government to allow the passage of trains, reported the PTI.

According to the PTI, the state cabinet minister Girish Mahajan tried to pacify the protesters in the afternoon who responded with slogans like "justice" for the victim girls and capital punishment for the arrested accused.
