The Delhi Police has arrested a 28-year-old trainee sub-inspector in connection with a complaint of molestation and extortion by a woman in north-west Delhi's Mukhjerji Nagar area. The arrested SI has been identified as Deepak, said highly placed sources.
Sources said three days back, the north-west district police received a complaint from a woman who heads a coaching center in Mukherjee Nagar area that a Sub-Inspector in the district has been extorting money from her. She also pressed charges of molestation against him.
According to the complainant, in 2015, Deepak had taken coaching for SSC (Staff Selection Commission) examination from her coaching center. Once he cleared examinations for the post of Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police, he was posted at the Mukherjee Nagar police station as an under training Sub-Inspector. The complainant alleged that Deepak used to come to her coaching center and extorted money from her on the pretext of framing her under false cheating cases. When she refused to give him money, he would threaten her that he will get his coaching center shut. The complainant also alleged that Deepak misbehaved with her and molested her several times.
Sources said, the complainant even recorded one instance in her mobile phone where Deepak is seen trying to extort money from her. She further approached the senior authorities of the north-west district and showed them the clipping captured on her mobile. Based on the woman's complaint, the local police arrested Deepak from his house in Faridabad in Haryana on the same day.
Departmental enquiry was initiated into the matter. Deepak was arrested and sent to judicial custody on Friday.
