Kandhamal: G Udayagiri police station inspector in-Charge (IIC) Rebati Sabar was on Sunday transferred after mother of sub-inspector Swagatika Behera lodged a complaint with police, alleging that her daughter took the extreme step as she was being mentally harassed and tortured by Sabar.
According to sources, Kandhamal SP Vinit Agrawal shifted Sabar following his discussions with Swagatika’s family members.
The sub-inspector was found hanging in her official quarters, where she was staying alone after joining G Udaygiri police station in Kandhamal district around one and a half years back, on Saturday morning. She was a native of Nirakarpur in Khurda district.
Swagatika’s brother Manoranjan alleged that she was under tremendous work and mental pressure. “While speaking to me over phone, Swagatika used to narrate the mental harassment by the IIC and cry over it. The IIC used to scold her in abusive language and tell her to quit as she was not able to handle her responsibilities,” he alleged.
Seeking immediate arrest of the IIC and her dismissal from service, her family members also staged a dharna in front of G Udayagiri police station and also sought a Crime Branch probe into the incident.
