The Sakinaka police have filed an affidavit in response to the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) in connection with the alleged harassment of girls at the hands of minor boys outside their school, stating that the latter throwing eggs at the former was “an act of minor mischief.” The affidavit further alleged that the alleged victims’ lawyer had dragged out the matter.

The victims had filed a complaint in the MSHRC, and the latter ordered the DCP to form a fact-finding committee and submit a response in the matter on or before March 27. The matter had come to light on January 19, when a minor group of boys allegedly threw eggs on a minor group of girls in Sakinaka.
