Senior Gujarat cop in dock for dirty talk

May 19, 2012

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.

Jaipur, Mar 18: Initially buried as per Islamic traditions, an unidentified man's body was exhumed and later cremated after he was found to be a Hindu in Rajasthan's Tonk district, police said.

The family members identified the body of Mahaveer Sahu on Tuesday, a day after the burial, as they stumbled upon photos of the deceased that had circulated on social media.

The man was brought to a government hospital by locals in an unconscious state on March 12 and he died on March 13, according to Purani Tonk police station SHO Shivlal.

The man was said to be a liquor addict and was found unconscious on the road, he added.

The body was kept at the mortuary for three days awaiting identification. Despite efforts to trace the next of kin, the identity could not be ascertained and members of Hindu and Muslim communities were brought in to take a decision, Shivlal said.

The community leaders presumed that he was a Muslim after examining the body and the burial took place as per Islamic funeral traditions on Monday, he added.

Meanwhile, Sahu's family members saw the photo of his body that had circulated on a WhatsAapp group and identified him later that day. They rushed to the hospital and then to the police station in the night where they were informed that the body had been buried.

“The body was exhumed with permission from the sub-divisional magistrate on Tuesday and handed over to the family members after proper identification. Members of the Muslim community led by an Imam were also present and gave in writing that they have no objection,” Shivlal said.

The body was later cremated by his family members.
