It should be enough to bring the matter to a legal conclusion, he said.

"We have not yet taken all the photographs of the incident yet but will do so soon," Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) K L Prasad said adding that the photojournalists who had clicked the pictures were helping in the investigations.

The photographic evidence would be enough to bring the matter to a legal conclusion, he said.

The Juhu police have registered a case under the relevant sections of the IPC and Bombay Police Act for molestation, outraging the modesty of a woman, criminal restraint, criminal intimidation, unlawful assembly and intentional insult to provoke breach of peace, Prasad said.

The girls were in shock after they were rescued and initially even refused to go to the police station with the traffic police inspector and constable who rescued them, he said.

They also did not record a statement with the police, he said.
