January 07, 2016 22:31

The Bombay high court today directed four young men accused of molestation and attempted murder to sweep public roads once a week for six months while quashing the case against them.

The four youths - Ankit Jadhav, Suhas Thakur, Milind More and Amit Adkhale - approached the high court seeking quashing of the attempt to murder and molestation case lodged against them by the Thane police in October last year.

The petitioners sought quashing of the case on the ground that they have reached at an amicable settlement with the complainants. According to the police, during a Dussehra procession in Thane in October the four, who were allegedly drunk, misbehaved with some women and assaulted a man who objected to it.

An FIR was subsequently lodged against the four for attempt to murder and molestation.
