Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Milind Bharambe is going to probe the case, and will submit the report in a month.
The cops were suspended for attending the party hosted by Chhota Rajan's aide.
The senior most among the five is Deputy Commissioner of Police V N Salve, in-charge of intelligence gathering and providing security to VIPs.
This is the first time ever that an IPS officer has been suspended for his links to the underworld.
The decision to suspend the policemen came after a meeting between Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil and Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in Mumbai on Sunday.
The other senior officer among the five is Assistant Commissioner of Police Prakash Vani, responsible for the Crime Branch's operations in Mumbai's Eastern suburbs.
The action against the policemen follows a video circulated after the party, shot by a police informer. These police officers have been seen clearly in the video dancing with the don and others.
