School van driver arrested in Badlapur for alleged molestation of four-year-old student
Badlapur West police on Thursday arrested a 37-year-old school van driver on charges of molesting a four-year-old girl, registering a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The accused was taken into custody late in the evening and is scheduled to be produced before a court on Friday, senior inspector Kishor Shinde said.
According to police, the incident occurred when the driver was dropping the child home after school. The girl, a junior KG student at an English-medium school located about three kilometres from her residence, was reportedly the last student in the van at the time of the alleged assault. Officers said the child appeared distressed after reaching home and initially did not speak about the incident. Her parents later took her into confidence, following which she narrated what had happened.
The family subsequently approached the Badlapur West police station and filed a complaint, based on which the case was registered. A police team then went to the accused’s residence and brought him to the station for questioning before formally arresting him.
According to The Indian Express official informed, “Once we get the accused’s custody, we will investigate how long he has been working as a driver and whether there is any past record of such incidents or other criminal cases against him.”

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
