Addressing a press conference here today, Raut said, "The Chief Minister (Eknath Shinde) and Home Minister (Devendra Fadnavis) are not talking about this, we are talking about this. Who made the CCTV footage disappear from the school? The head of the institution must have done this. Why did he do it? Just to save a constable or is there some other mystery behind it? What is the government doing?"
Last month, Maharashtra Minister and Shiv Sena leader Deepak Kesarkar said that the CCTV footage of the last 15 days have gone missing from the school in Badlapur where two minor girls were allegedly sexually assaulted.
