Six constables who damaged protesters' vehicles have been suspended and it is likely that two officers who allegedly opened fire while chasing the mob will also meet the same fate. An initial investigation by the police has revealed that two officers chased the mob and opened fire on protestors who were running for life.

Officers who controlled the mob peacefully at 18 such spots said the blunder by two officers had ruined the reputation of the entire force. Police sources said Police Inspector Ashok Patil of Saswad and Sub Inspector Mane of Vadgaon-Maval police station chased the mob and opened fire at least five times.
