Close to a year after three children - one of a top choreographer-director, other of a renowned actor and the third of an affluent businessman - thrashed another minor outside his home and threatened to bring others to beat him up, the juvenile court has issued notices to the celebrities, asking them to appear in court with their wards.

The dates for their appearance have not been specified yet.

Speaking on the matter, senior inspector of Oshiwara police station, Subhash Khanvilkar confirmed the development and said they police had submitted their findings in a report to the juvenile court about three months ago, which indicate that the crime is non-cognizable in nature.
