Give him death penalty if guilty, says mother of accused in Badlapur sexual abuse case

Kalyan: "If my son has done something wrong, then the court should give him the death penalty," said the mother of the accused in the Badlapur sexual assault case on Thursday. She said it was unlikely that her son assaulted the children.The accused married thrice in the last two years, and his third wife is five months pregnant. The mother works as a cleaner in a different section of the school. Recently, her younger son, who used to work in the school, became a peon in a different section. He then got the suspect to work as a sweeper in the school. The accused lives with his mother, father, younger brother, and his wife in Kharvai village of Badlapur. After a crowd vandalised their residence on Tuesday, the family are scared for their life. The police have increased the security outside the residence. Before working as a sweeper in the school, the accused used to work as a cleaner in a private housing society with his mother. His first two wives left him soon after marriage, said sources.The SIT formed for the case has set up eight teams. The SIT visited the school on Thursday and recorded the statement of two woman attendants who were suspended by the school. The SIT also collected other technical details and seized the digital video recorder, which the school said was not functioning for 15 days before the incident came to light. The SIT will look into the opposition allegation that the accused deliberately deleted the footage to hide evidence.
