Mumbai: Exactly a
month after two Palghar girls were arrested for their comments on
Facebook questioning the shutdown following Shiv Sena chief Bal
Thackeray's death, police submitted a closure report on the case
in a court here Tuesday.
"We have submitted the final report in front of the magistrate
court here. All allegations against the two girls - Shaheen Dhada
and Renu Srinivasan - have been dropped in the report," Deputy
Superintendent Vijaykant Sagar told IANS from Boisar, where the
case probe was shifted Nov 27.
On Nov 18, police arrested Shaheen Dadha, who posted a comment on
her Facebook questioning the shutdown after Thackeray's death Nov
17 and when he was given a public cremation the next day. Her
friend Renu, who had 'liked' the Facebook comment, was also
arrested.
A local Shiv Sena leader had complained against the girls and
police arrested the duo, sparking a nationwide outrage. As many as
10 suspected Shiv Sena workers were also arrested the following
day.
On Nov 29, Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil said that two
police officials involved in the arrests were suspended and others
given strict warnings. The officers suspended were Superintendent
of Police Ravindra Shengaonkar and Palghar police station senior
Inspector Shrikant Pingle
The Bombay High Court also transferred the magistrate who released
the girls on a bail of Rs.15,000 each.
