The Mumbai Sessions Court has sentenced 12 members of the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena (BVS), a former student wing of the Shiv Sena, to six months in prison for assaulting a municipal school teacher and defacing his face with ink in 2010. The court ruled that the group's actions were a serious offense, as teachers play a crucial role in shaping the future of students.
The group was convicted for rioting, house-trespass, and assault on public servants while performing their official duties. They had confronted the teacher, Prakash Bapu Salgar, and his headmaster, demanding to meet Salgar over a complaint from parents about an alleged assault on a Class IX student. The group damaged the school office and smeared ink over Salgar's face before leaving the premises.
The court rejected the defense's claim that a false case was lodged by the teacher and headmaster, stating that the accused had faced trial for 16 years and committed the offense despite knowing the consequences.
