Mangalore Today News Network

Mangalore, Sep 17, 2013 :  Various organizations  including DYDI, Dalita Sangharsha Samithi and Forum Against Atrocities on Women have   sought a fresh enquiry into the ASI Srikala harassment case.

The demand comes in the backdrop of  the ASI   moving  the Third JMFC Court in Mangalore  once again after the nine member committee constituted by the Commissioner gave a clean chit to the accused ACP TR Jagannath.

Speaking to reporters here on September 16, Monday, Vidya Dinker of the Forum for Atrocities  against Women  described the probe committee report as biased. She also alleged that ASI Srikala was harassed just because she has raised voice against a higher officer and  pointed out that even a constable of a Dalit community has been made to file a case of atrocity against her.

She also  pointed out that the accused ACP TR Jagannath has been serving in  one place since  the past several years and hoped there would be transfer of such officials  as per the assurance given by the Chief Minister some time  back to transfer police officials serving in one place for over three years.
