Peringottukara (Thrissur): A policeman was suspended for allegedly sending obscene videos to a woman and harassing her by frequently calling her on her mobile.
Thrissur Rural Police Chief Aishwarya Dongre placed under suspension Joseph Cleetus, a native of Kodungallur and the driver with the Peringottukara outpost under the Anthikad police station.
According to the complaint, the accused collected the mobile phone number of the Chazhoor native during a routine vehicle inspection and began to indulge in the acts.
Earlier, too, there were many complaints against the accused police personnel.
Cops demand physical examination of complainant
Kozhikode: In yet another case of a complaint about a man sending a woman obscene videos to her mobile, the police raise the strange demand of physical examination of the complainant.
The complainant, along with her father, are frequenting the police station for the last nine months ever since she filed the complaint. They charged the cops with not taking any action against the accused.
The girl received 10 obscene videos and two photos from an unknown number on the Telegram app at around 10:30 pm on January 23. The next day, the girl and her father went to the Nadakavu police station to file a complaint. The police immediately registered a case under the POCSO Act and seized the phone for examination. However, the police insisted on conducting a body search of the complainant. However, the man and his daughter refused it.
Though the father approached the police to retrieve the phone, they told him that it was with the Regional Forensic Lab in Kannur. According to the police, the phone is still in the lab. They claim the investigation got delayed due to other pending cases.
“Even if they didn’t register a case, they should return the mobile phone, which I presented to my daughter after taking a bank loan,” the father said.
Meanwhile, complainant and her relatives suspect that the police are taking revenge for not agreeing to the body search.
The complainant is the daughter of a drama-film artist based in West Hill, Kozhikode.
