The state has ordered the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the Beed coaching class sexual harassment case, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced in the state legislative assembly on Tuesday.

“A time-bound inquiry will be conducted in the Beed case. All the girls will get justice. Stringent punishment will be given to those involved in the crime,” Fadnavis said.


The Beed coaching class sexual harassment case was raised in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly after Question Hour on Day 2 of the Monsoon Session 2025.



So far, two staffers of the coaching class have been arrested in connection with the sexual harassment of a 17-year-old girl.

Two days ago, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Dhananjay Munde had accused political leaders of involvement in the case and demanded an SIT probe into the case.

“If anyone is trying to protect the criminals, they too will face stern punishment,” Fadnavis asserted on Tuesday.

Case background

A 17-year-old girl from a private coaching class in Beed had accused one of the teachers of sexually assaulting her. When she complained to another teacher and sought help, he, too, allegedly exploited the situation. The girl has lodged a complaint against the duo, following which police have arrested the two teachers named by her.
