The family members of the BMC contractual employee who committed suicide over his alleged harassment by a senior officer returned unheard from Home Minisiter Babulal Gaur’s residence on Sunday.
The family of BMC contractual employee who committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling at Ganesh Nagar under Gautam Nagar police station area on Friday had gone to the Home Minister to register their grievances but due to prior reservations Gaur was not able to meet the family.
The family has claimed that in-charge of anti-encroachment squad Subhash Batham used to assign him household works. He was forced to dish-washing, wheat cleaning and other chores, claimed the family members.
Batham also accused the victim of being responsible for loss of goods from the BMC and used to treat him badly. He was also forced to collect money from the owners of the building which were built illegally and encroached property of government and others.
The victim used to remain upset over the behavior of his senior officer and was harassed by him which forced him to take the extreme step, the family of the victim said.
Earlier on Friday BMC contractual employee Hemant Manjhi was found hanging at his residence by his family and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
After the preliminary investigation the body was sent for the post-mortem examination and the police have registered a case under section 174 of the CrPC. Police have confirmed that the claims would be investigated.
