Five more girls have come forward complaining of molestation by the president of a Zilla Parishad School Committee in Karjat who was booked for molesting a Std II girl. All the survivors are aged between 6 and 9.

The police and officials from the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Karjat, who had visited the school, had urged parents to have a word with their children about the molestation. Statements of the girls will be recorded next week in the presence of CWC officials. The accused, Narayan Patil, 42, is in the custody of Uran police and will be produced in court on Saturday.
