In a major disciplinary move, SDPO Madan Mohan Pradhan has been transferred to the district police headquarters following serious allegations of misconduct. The transfer was ordered to ensure an impartial investigation into claims that the officer harassed a woman seeking legal assistance.
Allegations of Misconduct:
The victim had initially approached the Fatehgarh Police Station to resolve a case. However, instead of providing professional aid, the SDPO allegedly:
Made inappropriate sexual advances and expressed lewd desires.
Harassed the woman with late-night phone calls demanding obscene photographs.
Pressured her to meet him at hotels, threatening to frame her husband in false criminal cases if she refused.
Investigation Underway:
Finding no other recourse, the woman filed a formal written complaint at the Fatehgarh police station, reportedly providing evidence of the harassment.
Authorities have moved the officer out of his current post to prevent any interference with the ongoing probe. This case has sparked outrage, highlighting the urgent need for stringent accountability within law enforcement.
