Ahmedabad, May 19: Here is a case of sexual harassment at workplace which is being written in khaki. The victim and the harasser are senior cops.


A woman police officer has recently complained against her superior - a senior IPS officer - for making numerous lewd calls to her everyday around midnight. She has reported the matter to the office of Gujarat's director general of police (DGP) in Gandhinagar.


The senior IPS officer, who is posted at the DGP's office, is now in the dock owing to his nocturnal calls. "In the past several months, he has been targeting the woman cop who is of DSP rank. The modus operandi of the senior IPS officer was he first dug out all departmental complaints and inquiries against the woman officer who does not work under his jurisdiction. For this, the IPS officer took advantage of his post since his portfolio is such that he can collect information on all cops in the state," said a senior Gujarat police official.


After this, the IPS officer made the first call to the woman officer. "The complainant says that at first it was about official business, but soon the calls took a different overtone. One night at 12.30 am the woman officer got a missed call from the IPS officer. As a protocol the junior officer called back thinking it could be an emergency. When she called up, she realized that the senior IPS officer was drunk. He was slurring. The first question posed by the IPS officer was why she was not coming to the gymnasium regularly. Both go to the same gym in Ahmedabad. She then disconnected the phone. But, from then on, this became a daily routine. This was supposedly to avoid any chances of his mobile phone call details revealing his mischief," said a senior Gujarat police official.


Finally, the woman officer stopped responding to the calls, but the missed calls continued. She got apprehensive of the consequences and decided to take up the matter with the top cops of Gujarat. She put her point across at the DGP's office with the threat that if punitive action is not initiated soon, she will have to file a police complaint.

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.
