The Bombay High Court transferred the magistrate, who sent Shaheen and Renu to judicial custody. Thane rural SP Ravindra Sengaonkar and senior police inspector in Palghar, Shreekant Pingle, were suspended and a departmental enquiry ordered against them for applying wrong charges against the two girls.
Additional SP Sangram Nishandar was warned in writing and reprimanded for dereliction of duty.
