Bangalore, January 31: Twenty-four hours after she allegedly slapped a police inspector on duty at the KSCA celebrity cricket match on Sunday night, Anuja, wife of IAS officer Pankaj Kumar Pandey, was arrested by the Cubbon Park police here.


Around 9:15 pm on Monday, Anuja was produced in front of the 8th ACCM Magistrate Kiran Kini’s residence at Koramangala Games Village here. She has secured an interim bail till February 6.

Anuja is alleged to have abused and assaulted Anjumala T Naik, police inspector at Ulsoor Gate women’s police station.

In her complaint, the inspector said Anuja, who was in an inebriated state, tried to throw her weight to enter the stadium through the G1 VIP gate and managed to get in. While exiting from the stadium, she abused and assaulted the inspector, according to the complaint.

A case was registered under IPC 353 –– cognizable offence (assault, deterring or preventing a public servant from discharging duty). Efforts to contact Pandey, Managing Director of Hubli Electricity Supply Company, went in vain.

The delay in arresting Anuja was due to none of the senior officers being prepared to name her, despite the episode being recorded on CCTV camera.

It was only after 2:20 pm that four teams were formed under the leadership of Cubbon Park Assistant Commissioner of Police D Devaraj. The teams fanned out to HSR Layout, Airport, Koramangala and other places.


Acting on a tip from a driver, who dropped Anuja the previous night, the IAS officer’s wife was arrested at the house of a businessman in Koramangala.

Tengnoupal, Jan 21: A woman IPS officer has alleged that a rifleman of Assam Rifles physically assaulted and molested her at a check post near Moreh town in Manipur's Tengnoupal district, police said on Tuesday.

Based on a written complaint of the IPS officer, an FIR has been registered against rifleman P K Pandey and a summon has been issued to him to appear before the concerned police station, the police said.

Manipur DGP L M Khaute told reporters on Monday, "We have made contacts with the Assam Rifles authorities. A complaint has been lodged by the officer." In her complaint, the IPS officer said that on reaching Khudengtabi check post on Sunday afternoon one of her escorts, who was not in uniform, told the frisking party of Assam Rifles to register their entry.

Despite showing their identity cards, the rifleman allegedly detained them, she said.

"We offered to search ourselves and the vehicle, but he was not interested", she said.

The rifleman began hitting the official vehicle and "misbehaved, humiliated, harassed and assaulted me and my escort personnel," she alleged.

The IPS officer also alleged that the rifleman molested her and when her escorts tried to intervene, he thrashed them.

She further accused the rifleman of making "sexually coloured" remarks against her, using abusive language and even tried to snatch her phone when she tried to call her senior officers.

The issue was brought under control after the matter was reported to the Brigadier of 26th Assam Rifles and the Major of the D-company of 12th AR, police said.
