The Thane Police on Tuesday constituted an investigation committee comprising two Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), 2 Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) and 2 PI. The Thane police on Monday said school sexual assault case accused Akshay Shinde was being taken to Badlapur from Taloja jail in connection with a fresh FIR registered against him on the complaint of his former wife when the firing incident took place, which resulted in his death.

Meanwhile, Anna Shinde, father of Badlapur sexual assault case accused Akshay Shinde who was killed in an alleged shootout with police, said that the family would have accepted the verdict of a court after a fair trial. He questioned the police's claim that Akshay snatched a policeman's gun and fired, leading to retaliatory shooting and his death on Monday evening. "We want justice," Anna Shinde said. "My son was scared of bursting crackers, how can he snatch a pistol from a police officer and open fire," he said.
Police had filed a charge sheet in the sexual assault case and he could have been put on trial, Anna Shinde further said. "The family would have accepted the verdict delivered by the court after a trial, but we are poor people; we don't have a voice," he said, claiming that police killed his son for some unknown reasons.
