Sapna, a resident of Kalaburagi, accused Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner (DC) Yeshwant Gurukar, who was also a District Executive Magistrate, of misconduct and threatening her while hearing her family dispute case.
Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Thursday, the 36-year old homemaker also alleged that the officer had defamed her by making false allegations against her in the media when the matter was in court and misused his power to get a criminal case booked against her on the false charge of deterring a public servant from discharging his duty.
“The Assistant Commissioner (AC) Court in Kalaburagi had ordered me to vacate the house that I was sharing with my husband and mother-in-law and give the possession of the house to my father-in-law. I approached the High Court against the order and the High Court dismissed my appeal by asking me to appeal in the DC court. When I approached the DC court with the appeal on April 12, 2022, the DC objected to the criminal cases that I had filed against my husband and his parents for their harassment for dowry and domestic violence. He even threatened of booking a criminal case against me before sending me out,” Ms. Sapna said.
