“The Maharashtra government will not tolerate any negligence in cases related to crimes against women and girls. We have decided to suspend two police officers — Bhanupratap Madhavi and Praneeta Karale, and transfer Gaonkar for not performing his duties,” the home minister said in the lower House.

The policemen are accused of not probing the case seriously and ill-treating the girl’s parents.

Consequently, they approached the Nagpur bench of the Bombay high court, which also passed strictures against the police.
