"The inquiry has begun and will look into whether the arrests were warranted and whether the sections applied were correct. Similarly, the probe will also investigate the incident of vandalism in the aftermath," Home Minister R R Patil said.
The government instituted an inquiry headed by the Konkan range inspector general into the matter on Monday and sought a report immediately.
Patil said it would be wrong on his part to comment on the police action when the inquiry was on.
The report of the IG level inquiry in the case is expected on Wednesday, he said.
"The government has taken the incident very seriously," he said, adding more clarity was required in the IT Act to prevent misuse.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan told reporters, "Let the report come, then action would be taken."
