The media reports of a Delhi Police inspector allegedly misbehaving and sexually harassing 24 women constables posted in the Provisioning and Logistics unit, are disturbing. Complaints filed by the aggrieved five months back followed by another two months back with ACPs, DCPs,failed to evoke any response, till the racket was exposed by the Media. Who is to blame? Delhi police for its masterly inactivity and callousness? Or, the sex maniac inspector? The matter stands referred to sexual harassment committee. Attempts could be made to influence the course of investigation. Safety of aggrieved police women is paramount.
Though, this seems to be an open and shut case, it would be appropriate to refer the matter to CBI. The accused could be dismissed by the competent authority as part of departmental action based on positive recommendations by the committee .This should be followed by filing an FIR, further investigation by CBI to decode ramifications of the racket ,filing chargeheet ,conviction and punishment by the court under IPC.
The public would be interested in knowing the invisible hand that blocked initial investigation against the accused after the first complaint was filed.
