PATNA, May 8 -- A scheduled caste probationary sub-inspector (SI) posted at the Town police station in Jehanabad district has accused an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police of molestation and harassment inside the police station barrack. She also alleged that her complaint was initially ignored by the duty officer. In a letter addressed to Jehanabad superintendent of police (SP) Arvind Pratap Singh on April 28, 2025, the SI detailed the alleged incident that occurred on April 9 while she was undergoing training at the Town police station. "I was under training at Town police station. On April 9, ASI Manas Pandey, who is posted at the SDPO office, suddenly appeared in front of me as I was going to the bathroom. First, he touched my cheek, then molested my private parts and smiled. When I resisted, he threatened me with dire consequences if I reported the matter to any senior official," the SI wrote. She further stated, "I somehow managed to remain calm and informed my senior, but no action was taken. Later, I submitted a written complaint to the SP on April 28, detailing the entire incident. Till date, no action has been taken against Manas Pandey. In fact, he is trying to pressure me to withdraw the complaint. Some of his close associates have either threatened me or tried to convince me to settle the matter." The Jehanabad SP, while speaking to media persons, confirmed that an inquiry is underway into allegations of sexual harassment and molestation. He further said that strict action will be taken against the guilty person....
