JAGO UTTARAKHAND REPORT HIGHLIGHTS THE PLIGHT OF A HAPLESS GIRL COMPLAINING OF SEXUAL HARRASMENT BY AN SI PAURI
A news regarding a pre strategic sexual harrasment n physical exploitation of an innocent girl by a policeman of Garhwal , Uttarakhand who was already ditched by her friend earlier has come to light as per the news report of JAAGO UTTARAKHAND.
According to a news report, originally hailing from Rudraprayag and currently the resident of Srikot, near Srinagar, Garhwal an anguished girl has written a letter to the SSP Pauri seeking justice against her sexual harrasment by the Pauri sub inspector Ajay Kumar.
In the letter written to the Pauri SSP the aggrieved woman said that when she had approached the SI Pauri Ajay Kumar to seek justice against her sexual harrasment requesting to lodge her written complaint against her friend who ditched marrying her but assaulted sexually, she was against sexually assaulted by the SI Pauri instead of giving justice.
The complainant has also sent her written complaint to the DGP Uttarakhand in the month of March/ April 2024 but of no avail reveals the Jago Uttarakhand report.
The complainant – anguished woman had initially gone to Women Police Station at Srinagar on the month of August 2023 to lodge her complaint against her friend who has sexually assaulted her in the name of marrying her but ditched lateron, seeking stern action against him.
While the investigation of the case was going on at snails pace by a woman police personal, the complainant got a call from a policeman after some days that her complaint will be looked after by him now onwards, disclosing his name as SI Ajay Kumar.
The woman’s letter to SSP Pauri further mentioned that the SI called her in his room exactly in front of the police station to record my statement. Thereafter the SI called her continuously on voice call and tried to convince/ pressurise her for the patch up with her friend who had repeatedly sexually assaulted n betrayed her in the name of marriage, earlier.
According to the “Jago Uttarakhand’ report, one day the SI Ajay Kumar called her at the coaching centre and said in friendship everything is fair as such things do occur with everyone. The woman complainant has also mentioned that whenever the SI Ajay called her he used to ask her to come after 11.00 and there used to be no woman police personal. The woman complainant wrote in the letter that one day the SI Ajay Kumar forcibly put her into the police jeep and took her to Srikot and forcibly made physical relations further threatening not to disclose this to anybody as this would lead to her own adultery/ insult n also threatened of dire consequences.
He even went to the extent of assuring her of marrying her.
Under this false commitment he got the matter compromised with her friend in a hotel.
After this compromise, the girl and the SI used to talk on video calls for several months.
According to the written complaint the women was asked to show herself in the video and the SI too used to exhibit his body to her on the video call allegedly compelling her for phone sex etc.
The girl complainant has accused the SI Ajay Kumar of sexually harassing and exploiting her repeatedly under the guise of marrying her instead of giving her due justice.
She also revealed that she had sent her written complaint to the DGP Uttarakhand in April / March 2024 but since the matter is connected to the police no credible action whatsoever has been taken at the CO level and instead the woman complainant is being allegedly pressurised not to mention the name of SI Ajay Kumar in the matter.
The aggrieved girl has complained that instead of safeguarding her and giving her justice she is allegedly being threatened by the Pauri Police to give up.
The complainant has now written to the Pauri SSP Lokeshwar Singh expecting thorough investigation in the matter and due justice to her by taking necessary action against the culprits.
When the representative of “Jago Uttarakhand” hindi weekly has spoken to the SSP Lokeshwar Singh he said that the matter has been forwarded to the CO Sadar and after in-depth investigation they’ll reach to the conclusion in the case. On the other hand the SI Ajay Kumar has also lodged a cross FIR against the Woman/ Gang saying that he is conspiratorially being involved in this case. According to the report of “Jago Uttarakhand” Ajay Kumar SI was also the investigating officer in a case pertaining to the alleged suicide/ death of deputy ranger Uday Joshi under mysterious circumstances.
