Chennai, Mar 19 (Agency) The Tamil Nadu government late on Thursday night suspended former Special Director General of Police against whom a woman IPS officer has levelled serious sexual harassment charges. Police sources said the senior IPS officer was suspended, pending inquiry. Soon after the woman’s complaint to the Director General of Police went viral, he was kept under compulsory wait.
His suspension comes in the wake of the Madras High Court’s observation, while taking suo motu cognisance of the woman IPS officer’s case, as to why the special DGP, accused of having made sexual advances towards a woman SP, had not yet been suspended. Since the Madras High Court was monitoring the CB-CID probe, the investigating agency submitted a status report on the investigation in a sealed cover.
