Mumbai:
Maharashtra Police are likely to file a closure report in the case
of arrest of two girls for questioning on Facebook the Mumbai
shutdown following Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray's death, the
state police chief said here Thursday.
"No charge sheet will be filed in the case of arrest of two girls
from Palghar. There will be a closure report," Director General of
Police Sanjeev Dayal told reporters.
Dayal hinted that since a charge sheet had not been filed in the
case yet, there did not arise the need to formally drop the
charges. However, the case will be closed and a report will be
filed.
Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil Tuesday said the two police
officials involved in the arrests of Shaheen Dadha and her friend
Renu Srinivasan have been suspended and others given strict
warnings.
Police arrested Shaheen Nov 18 for posting a comment on her
Facebook page questioning the shutdown after Shiv Sena chief Bal
Thackeray's death Nov 17 and when he was given a public cremation
the next day.
Her friend Renu, who had 'liked' the comment, was also arrested.
Patil said that based on the report submitted by Inspector General
(Konkan Range) Sukhvinder Singh, it was decided that
Superintendent of Police (Thane Rural) Ravindra Sengaonkar and
Palghar police chief senior inspector Shrikant Pingle would be
suspended and a departmental probe be ordered against them.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Thane Rural) Sangram
Nishandar was also told to be alert while dealing with such cases.
The officer is alleged to have played a role in ensuring the
arrests of the two girls.
The Bombay High Court has also transferred the magistrate who
released the girls on a bail of Rs.15,000 each.
