A Deputy Superintendent of Police was arrested and suspended after a video, which allegedly showed him sexually harassing a woman who approached him with a complaint, went viral on social media, police said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old officer, identified as Ramachandrappa, was posted as DSP in Madhugiri, they said.<\/p>\n
In the purported video, the senior police officer can be seen misbehaving with the woman and acting inappropriately.<\/p>\n
According to police, the alleged incident occurred on Thursday when the woman visited Ramachandrappa’s office in Tumakuru to complain about a land dispute. The woman has alleged that he took her to a room and misbehaved with her, touching her inappropriately.<\/p>\n
However, the incident was recorded by a person from outside the window and later went viral on social media platforms.<\/p>\n
Stating the incident as a serious matter, a senior police officer said the department will not tolerate harassment or violence against women.<\/p>\n
“We have registered a case under sections 68 (sexual intercourse by a person in authority), 75 (sexual harassment), and 78 (stalking) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and have arrested the DYSP. He has also been suspended from service,” he said.<\/p>\n
The case is being investigated by an officer of the rank of Additional Superintendent of Police, police added.<\/p>\n
