Pune: 3 Vishrambaug Police Personnel Penalised For Turning Domestic Violence Probe Into ‘Sightseeing Trip’
Three Vishrambaug police personnel were penalized for turning a domestic violence investigation into a sightseeing trip to Satara.
Police Sub-Inspector Swarupa Naikwade, Police Constables Shrihari Patil and Komal Kamble had their annual increments withheld for two years.
The inquiry found the officers visited tourist spots like Kaas Plateau instead of conducting a proper investigation.
The complainant's repeated requests to return to Pune due to her mother's illness were ignored, and she was dropped at a police chowky at night.
Additional Commissioner Rajesh Bansode imposed the punishment for gross indiscipline and dereliction of duty.
