The Kalyan court on Friday, October 4, granted bail to school president Uday Kotwal and secretary Tushar Apte, co-accused in the Badlapur sexual assault case two days after their arrest from Karjat. Both were produced before the district court today by the SIT team. Two kindergarten girls were sexually assaulted by attendant Akshay Shinde.
Meanwhile, two school trustees were on Thursday granted bail by a sessions court. However, the police immediately took them into custody in the second case. Uday Kotwal and Tushar Apte were arrested after their bail was rejected by the Bombay High Court.
