Court closes case against two girls:Facebook Row

THANE: A criminal case filed against two girls for posting a comment on Facebook on the bandh after the death of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on November 17 last year has been closed after police dropped charges against them.

The Palghar sessions court yesterday accepted the police closure report seeking dropping of charges against the two girls.

The Boisar police had filed a 'C' summary report in December to close the criminal case on the grounds that it was 'neither true nor false'.

However, complainant Shiv Sena member Bhushan Sankhe's counsel yesterday said they will challenge the order and file a criminal revision appeal before the Palghar sessions court.
