Medical examinations confirmed the allegation after one of the two victims told his parents about the crime. When the case came to light in mid-August, it outraged the nation and sparked massive protests in Badlapur. Parents questioned the security measures in place at schools to protect young girls and students from such crimes.

The Bombay High Court took cognizance of the matter on its own initiative and an SIT was set up for further investigation.
