Protests After 2 Nursery Girls Sexually Assaulted In Thane School

The massive protest in Maharashtra's Thane over the sexual assault of two four-year-old girls at a school,  has been quelled by police batons and tear gas.  The Badlapur railway station that was a seething mass of slogan-shouting people for over six hours, emptied in a matter of seconds and a huge police force cracked down. People - many of them sitting down on the railway tracks -- started running as batons flashed.  From the other side of the station, protesters responded with stones, till the station turned into a war zone. But the police prevailed, giving chase to the protesters as they ran helter skelter.
