A local court in Villupuram is scheduled to pronounce on June 16 its verdict in the case relating to the alleged sexual harassment of a woman Superintendent of Police by suspended Tamil Nadu Special Director General of Police Rajesh Das.
Das, the then Special DGP, Law and Order, was accused of sexually harassing a woman Superintendent of Police in February 2021. The incident allegedly occurred when he and the officer were part of the security arrangements for the then Chief Minister, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, during an election campaign.
A case under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman (Amendment) Act, 2002, was registered against him.
