In further trouble for suspended Maharashtra DIG Sunil Paraskar, accused of molestation and rape by a model, a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) has been launched against him to find if there were administrative lapses on his part while dealing with the victim before she filed police complaint.
“The preliminary enquiry (PE) is being conducted by Joint Police Commissioner (Administration) Vivek Phansalkar,” Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria said on Wednesday.
The PE, started recently, will find out if there were any administrative lapses by Paraskar while dealing with the model. Based on the PE report, DGP Sanjeev Dayal will decide whether a Departmental Enquiry should be initiated against the senior IPS officer, who was suspended on Tuesday, police said. Dayal has observed that Paraskar, who claimed to have "friendly
relationship" with the 25-year-old victim, appears to have violated Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules and his behaviour amounts to belittling the image of All-India Service Officers, they said.
