Ashoke Pandit reacted to a video in which a sadhu was justifying that the incident should not be seen in a ‘wrong context.’ He termed it ‘shameful & disgusting’, while demanding those responsible for it be punished with imprisonment. 

 The case:

68 students from the Shree Sahajanand Girls Institute were made to strip by their principal Rita Raninga. She wanted to ensure that the menstruating students do not enter the temple. 

"It was really humiliating what happened in that washroom. Why did they have to make us take off our underwear? We could've just told them. This is not fair and absolutely wrong," one of the girls said.  

Following the uproar, a First Information Report has been registered against the principal, warden and two hostel supervisors, reports claimed.
