In response, Kesarkar also announced the establishment of Vishakha Committees across all schools and suspended two teachers, the headmaster, a class teacher, and two assistants. The arrest involved charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, which could result in a sentence of up to 13 and a half years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressed her outrage, stressing the need for the Maharashtra Shakti Criminal Law to be sanctioned to prevent such incidents.
