Constable ‘molestation’ case: BSF starts inquiry

The state women body had demanded a probe and action in the case that has brought major embarrassment to the BSF.

Though top level BSF officers are tight-lipped over the issue,they have deputed a deputy commandant level officer to look into the matter after The Indian Express reported the incident on Sunday.

The BSF may record the victim’s statements on Monday though sources state that the constable is still in shock and under pressure to withdraw her complaint.

The woman constable was posted at the Khemkaran sector on the Indo-Pak border when three days ago a senior officer caught her talking on a mobile phone,which is banned otherwise.

When the officer approached her on the watch tower where she was on duty along with a lady colleague,he searched her physically to find the gadget,which the woman constable has alleged was inappropriate.

“The matter is under investigation and if found guilty the erring officer will face the music’’,said a senior officer requesting anonymity.
