After this incident, the process of filing a case against Bhosle was started. But Bhosle accepted his mistake and wrote an apology letter. Also, Jasbir Singh's missing Rs 1,500 was paid. After Bhosale gave a written apology, the authorities decided to release him with a warning. However, the railway police registered a case in this regard.
