Woman cop sacked for falling in love with most wanted criminal

Patna, Jun 14: Love knows no bounds. This age-old adage was amply evident in a bizarre love story in Bihar where a woman constable was smitten by the charm of a most wanted criminal Mithu Shah. The constable, who married the criminal, has been sacked from police service for bringing disrepute to her profession.marriage

The woman cop, Preeti Kumari, was posted as an arms guard in the Mahila police station at Sitamarhi in North Bihar. It was in 2016 when she met Mithu Shah. Bitten by the love bug, she decided to marry him.

The news of a woman constable marrying a criminal (and staying as husband-wife) spread like a wild fire. To verify the authenticity of the report, the Sitamarhi SP ordered a detailed investigation into the case.

When the SP’s officer on special duty (OSD) confirmed the news, the SP suspended Preeti and later transferred her to Bhagalpur.

“During the investigation, it came to light that Preeti shared several confidential information with the most wanted criminal with whom she tied the nuptial knot. Her action eroded public’s faith in the system and brought disrepute to the entire police force,” said a source preferring anonymity.

In the meantime, even as Preeti was transferred from Sitamarhi to Bhagalpur, the departmental proceeding against her started. She was issued a show-cause notice asking her to explain why she should not be sacked from the job for her (mis)conduct.

“Her reply was found to be far from satisfactory. On June 9, the Sitamarhi SP recommended that she be sacked from the police service. A letter to this effect was forwarded to the Bhagalpur Senior SP (SSP) Manoj Kumar under whose jurisdiction she was serving as constable. “The SSP on June 13 issued her termination order,” informed the source.

Belagavi, Feb 24: Almost a month after a soldier was reported missing following a trip to Gokak's Godchinamalaki falls, his wife and her lover - who was her car driver - were arrested in Belagavi for his murder.

Police said the accused, Prashant Patil, and two friends tried to throw Deepak Pattanadara, 32, off a cliff after slitting his throat. Deepak's wife, Anjali, had registered a missing case with police on February 4, saying her husband had gone on a trip with friends on January 28 and hadn't returned.

In a twist, Deepak's elder brother lodged a complaint at the same police station, alleging that Anjali was behind the disappearance.

Anjali and Prashant, both 26, were arrested on Saturday while Prashant's two friends are absconding. Deepak's decomposed body has been recovered.

Deepak, who was posted in Delhi and was on the verge of retirement after 14 years in the army, had suspected his wife's alleged affair, police said. He'd bought a car for Anjali in 2019, and since he was home only twice a year, he hired Prashant as the driver. Anjali and Prashant grew close but when Deepak asked Anjali about the affair, she denied it outright.

When Deepak came home during vacation, the duo planned to eliminate him, police said.
