    What's the story

    The Bombay High Court has asked the Maharashtra government to update it on action taken against police officials in the Badlapur sexual assault case.

    The court's query relates to alleged lapses in filing an FIR and investigating the sexual abuse of two minor girls.

    A departmental inquiry is underway against these officers, Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithviraj Chavan confirmed.
