However, the woman police officer has not filed a complaint against her senior. “I didn’t even notice that it was a woman standing in front of me. I am sure I didn’t do it repeatedly. Media is putting the visuals on loop and showing me in a bad light,” he alleges.

An internal investigation into the case has been ordered. No action has been taken against the Assistant Commissioner as yet. However, what has been justified from the police officer’s side is that his actions were not intentional.
