Mangalore, February 1: Mangalore assistant commissioner Prabhuling Kavalikatti on Monday suspended the Kavoor village accountant Shivanand Natekal for misbehaving with a Dalit woman.

Natekal was arrested last week under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act on the charge of seeking sexual favours from Nethravathi, an SC woman.

Nethravathi had applied for a caste certificate with Kavoor village accountant, but her application was not recommended as she was from Chikmagalur district.

Shivananda called her several times and told her that he would recommend for the certificate if she fulfilled his demands and sought sexual favours to do the needful.

She then approached the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (DSS) for help. Subsequently, a trap was laid. Shivananda came to her house in Gandhinagar area of Kavoor on last Thursday afternoon and started making advances towards her when her husband and some members of the DSS arrived there and caught him and handed him over to the police after thrashing him.
