THANE: In a move towards ensuring speedy justice, the Thane police have taken swift action in three cases involving crimes against women. The Kolsewadi, Manpada and Bazarpeth police stations, which fall within Zone 3 of the Thane police commissionerate, have successfully completed investigations and filed charge sheets in three separate cases within 48 hours of the crimes' registration, officers said.

All three cases involve sexual harassment.

In the first case, the Kolsewadi police received a distress call from a hospital after a 16-year-old girl attempted suicide. Assistant police inspector (API) Suresh Narwade immediately dispatched a team to the hospital, where the girl told the police that her father had verbally abused and sexually harassed her for using a mobile phone, said an officer.
