Delhi Govt to wait for full report on TV sting op

The Delhi Government has said that it would wait for a full report from the police before taking any further action in the fake sting op case

With the arrest of a girl who posed as a victim of prostitution in a TV sting that led to the implication of a school teacher, the Delhi Government on Friday said it would wait for a full report from the police before taking any further action in the case.

“The official report is yet to come, only then we will decide what further action to take,” Delhi Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said.

Uma Khurana, a Government school teacher, had been dismissed from service on September one after the TV sting purportedly showed her pushing girls into prostitution.

Asked whether the decision to terminate Khurana’s services had been taken in haste, Lovely said that she had been dismissed after school authorities had identified her in the CD of the sting operation and on earlier charges of misbehaviour with the students.

“In fact, it was the Delhi Government which had asked for the case to be handed over to the Delhi Police crime branch,” he added.

In a twist to the case, police on Thursday arrested the girl who had appeared in the TV sting operation as a student.

The girl, whose identity was not revealed, was arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and fabricating false evidence.

The girl had figured in the sting operation as a student who claimed that she had been forced into prostitution by Khurana, a teacher of the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in Central Delhi.

The sting operation had led to widespread violence in the area.

Premji said that Wipro would partner with the Government "to find a lasting solution for Bengaluru's mobility challenges".
