By indbadmin

Following an incident in which some girls from a hostel in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon complained that people from outside and policemen were allowed to enter the facility on the pretext of a probe and they were forced to strip and dance, the Maharashtra government has formed a four-member high-level committee to conduct a probe, Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said on Wednesday. A video clip of the same has also surfaced.

The minister made the announcement in the state Assembly after the issue was raised by opposition members. BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar targeted the Maharashtra government, suggesting it was not serious over the issue, The Indian Express (TIE) reported.

“It is a very unfortunate incident. A four-member high-level committee of officials has been formed to conduct a probe into it..they have been asked to submit a report in two days. Action will be taken as per rules after the report is submitted,” Deshmukh was quoted as saying.

Before the minister made the announcement, Mungantiwar said the incident is very serious. He alleged the government was only taking note of such an incident and called for stricter action.

Replying to him, Deshmukh said, “All information about the incident is being taken. The entire video recording and other documents are sought and statements are being recorded.” Strict action will be taken as per rules after gathering all the information, he said.
