Delhi Court Accepts Closure Report in Case Against Senior IPS Officer
In New Delhi, the Tis Hazari court has accepted the Delhi Police’s closure report in a case involving a senior IPS officer accused of misconduct by a female IAS officer. The court also dismissed the protest petition filed by the complainant against this closure report.
Court’s Observations
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Anuj Kumar Singh noted discrepancies between the FIR and the statement given by the IAS officer under section 164 CrPC. The court found no similarity between the two, suggesting they did not pertain to the same person. The court also highlighted that the complainant’s statement had significantly changed over time, raising doubts about its credibility.
Details of the Case
The FIR, filed in 2022, was based on the IAS officer’s complaint of receiving threatening calls and messages from an unknown number. However, her statement before the Magistrate accused a senior IPS officer of sending inappropriate messages and invitations. The court noted that the original complaint did not suggest sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior.
Conclusion
The closure report indicated that the complainant had a strong motive to falsely implicate the accused. The court’s decision to accept the closure report and dismiss the protest petition was based on these findings.
