Top cop suspended for not taking action on woman’s complaint
Nashik: A police inspector here was suspended for reportedly not acting on a harassment complaint by a woman against two persons following which she committed suicide, police said today.
Nashik Commissioner of Police Kulwant Kumar Sarangal yesterday suspended Satpur police station’s senior inspector
Kondiram Popere as he did not take action on the complaint of 43-year-old widow Nirmala Bhaskar Shinde.
In her complaint filed on 2 January, the woman had alleged that two unidentified persons used to harass her
whenever she returned home from work at an industrial unit and would also make calls on her cellphone, police said.
In her complaint, she had also provided the vehicle and mobile phone numbers of the accused.
However, fed up with the harassment, she ended her life by hanging herself from a ceiling fan in her house last
week. Later, a probe was conducted into the case following which the errant police official was suspended, police said.
Meanwhile, police have arrested one person, identified as Rajesh Aher, from city’s Panchavati area for allegedly
harassing the 43-year-old woman. Aher was arrested two days ago in connection with the case, police said, adding that, search was on for the other accused.
