Facebook arrests: Maharashtra to close case against Palghar girls

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 30 November 2012 | 22.23

MUMBAI: The state home department has asked the police to file a closure report in the Palghar Facebook case involving the two girls who were arrested after they posted comments that Shiv Sainiks found objectionable.

"The local police will follow legal procedures and will be filing the C Summary report before the court. It will be then up to the court to decide the next course of action," state director-general of police Sanjeev Dayal said on Thursday.

State police officials said Palghar police had been asked to initiate the legal process that would end in closing the case and local cops said they would soon file the closure report in court. A closure report is usually filed by police in a court when investigators conclude that no case is made out against the accused.

The police action follows a series of TOI reports and a build-up of public opinion against the arrest of Shaheen Dhada and Rinu Srinivasan and the vandalization of Dhada's uncle's clinic, allegedly by Shiv Sena supporters. The director-general's office took the decision after seeking legal opinion from the law and judiciary department on the issue, officials said.

The latest action follows the suspension of two police officers, and the transfer of the judicial magistrate who first heard the case.

The case was then transferred to the Boisar police.

Boisar police await written order

Officials said police would file a summary report in court, stating whether the case filed was true or false, and added the entire process could take between 10 and 15 days. Officials said Dayal had directed the Boisar police against filing a chargesheet against the girls. Boisar cops are awaiting a written order from their higher-ups before approaching the Palghar sessions court for closure of the case.

Deputy superintendent of police, Boisar, Vijay Sagar, the new investigating officer of the case, said the local unit was yet to get a written order.

Shaheen and her friend Rinu were initially arrested after the former posted a comment on the shutdown of Mumbai on the day Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray was cremated at Shivaji Park. Srinivasan paid the price for liked and sharing Dhada's comment. The girls were detained at the police station on the night of November 18 and arrested the next day after cops bowed to pressure from the local Shiv Sena unit.

Both Dhada and Srinivasan have already petitioned the Palghar court to exempt them from weekly appearance at Palghar police station, the condition on which they were given bail.
