Woman cop seeks nod to marry under Special Act, police say she has not come for work since then

Meanwhile, the brother of the woman police sub-inspector arrived in Bareilly from Meerut and filed a complaint with Additional Director General of Police (Bareilly Zone) Prem Chand Meena against the Muslim businessman. He claimed that his sister has been in a relationship with the businessman for the past years and accused him of “manipulating and blackmailing her into marriage”.

“The man possesses videos and photos of my sister, which he is using to coerce her into marrying him. To protect her from an interfaith marriage, I approached the ADG, requesting that she be transferred to either Bijnor or Shamli,” the woman’s brother said.

Police said the woman came in contact with the man, a timber merchant, during her posting at the Baheri police station in Bareilly a few years ago.
In their application before the SDM, the couple stated that they would not change their religion after the marriage. The SDM office then sent notices to the departments concerned and sought objections, if any, from the couple’s family members.

Bareilly Superintendent of Police Rahul Bhati said, “The department has nothing to do with her personal life, but we will definitely seek an explanation from her for being absent without informing her seniors. While checking the status of cases pending with her for investigation, we have been informed that she has 10 cases pending that need to be investigated. She will have to give reasons for being absent from her duty without any information and also about the pending cases.”
