A formal complaint has been lodged against a senior IPS officer of the capital city for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to women sub-inspectors. The complaint was submitted to DIG Ajeetha Begum, who handles cases related to women and children.
Following her report requesting action under the POSH Act, SP Merin Joseph from the police headquarters has been assigned to investigate the matter. Statements from the complainants have already been recorded as part of the inquiry.
The officer in question, who currently holds a key position in the capital city, reportedly sent the messages while serving as the district police chief in the southern district. The investigation has been conducted discreetly, and the two women officers have remained firm in their allegations.
Authorities confirmed that the complaint was filed several weeks ago, and the inquiry is ongoing to determine the next steps in accordance with official procedures and the POSH Act guidelines.
