Facebook arrests: Shiv Sena bandh in Palghar

India TV News  

Thane, Nov 28: Maharashtra's Palghar town and surrounding areas remained shut Wednesday in response to a call by the Shiv Sena to oppose the suspension of the two police officials who had arrested two girls for their Facebook comments on Bal Thackeray's death. The shutdown call evoked a near-total response in the industrial town, around 100 km north-west of the state capital Mumbai in Thane district, officials said.Two girls from Palghar, Shaheen Dadha and her friend Renu Srinivasan, had questioned on Facebook the shutdown after the death of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray Nov 17 and also the following day when he was cremated in Mumbai. Patil, a resident of the town with a population of around 200,000, said the shutdown evoked total response, paralysing public transport, trade and business activities.After the girls' comments on the Facebook, suspected Shiv Sena activists lodged a police complaint against the girls and also vandalised a hospital owned by Shaheen's uncle.Following a nationwide uproar over the developments, Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. "Similarly, it has also been decided that the Palghar police chief, Senior Inspector Shrikant Pingle, also be suspended and a departmental inquiry be ordered against him too," he added.To prevent bias in the investigations, the case was transferred from Palghar to Boisar police station, around 15 km away, in the same district.The police first information report against Shaheen and Renu said that their Facebook comments had "hurt religious sentiments", while a second FIR was lodged by Shaheen's uncle, Abdul, whose hospital was vandalized by suspected Shiv Sainiks.
