Kaleshwaram SI Bhavani Sen Goud has been dismissed from service by the State government.
An order to this effect was issued today.
Sen allegedly threatened a woman head constable with a gun and sexually assaulted her.
The HC lodged a complaint with the district SP alleging that she was sexually assaulted by Sen. In her complaint, the HC said that Sen had been harassing her for some time, and that she was sexually assaulted several times while on duty. She also claimed that Sen had threatened to kill her with a gun if she told anyone about the assaults. Unable to bear the harassment, she had finally approached the SP and lodged a complaint.
The local DSP immediately conducted an inquiry at the Kaleshwaram police station, and the SI was taken into custody after interrogation. A case of sexual assault, and one under the Prevention of Atrocities against SC/ST Act, were registered against the SI. Taking serious note of the incident, the government has now removed the accused SI from service.
