The confidential report submitted to the DGP office has also recommended departmental action against the errant cops, a police official said on condition of anonymity.
"The report filed by Inspector General (Konkan Range) Sukhvindar Singh also mentions that sections applied in the case were not justified," the official said adding the police would seek advice from the government on dropping of the charges against the girls.
Meanwhile, a national news channel had showed a video clipping stating how Palghar Deputy Superintendent of Police Ramdas Shinde tried to appease the Shiv Sena men and promised action even after the girls had apologised for their facebook comments, though his face was not clearly seen.
"We are registering a case under section 295 A of the IPC and Section 66A of the IT Act. Their family members are here and they are ready to give a written apology. But that doesn't mean we will not register a case. I will also give you a copy of the apology in 15-20 minutes," Shinde was seen saying in the video.
"Be rest assured that action will be taken. Please remain calm. An unfortunate incident has taken place. Please don't give in to incitement. I am with you in your sentiments. Please understand me," the video showed Shinde as saying.
