Karwar Police suspend Kadra Sub-Inspector over lapses in woman’s suicide case
Karwar: The Karwar Superintendent of Police Deepan N. M. has placed Kadra sub-inspector Sunil Bandivaddar under suspension for alleged dereliction of duty and negligence in connection with the suicide of a woman from Kadra.
According to a Deccan Herald report, the action follows the death of Rischel D’Souza, who was found dead at her residence on January 9. According to the police, a preliminary review indicated serious lapses in the handling of the case. Citing the shortcomings in following prescribed procedures during the investigation and post-mortem process, the SP ordered the suspension pending a departmental inquiry.
Rischel’s family had earlier approached the Kadra police, alleging that her friend, Chirag Kotarkar, was responsible for driving her to take the extreme step. However, relatives and members of Christian organisations expressed dissatisfaction over what they described as inaction by the police, stating that no arrest had been made even a week after the complaint was lodged.

Police inspector suspended in UP's Ballia for making 'obscene' remarks against rape survivor
Ballia (PTI): A police inspector has been suspended here for allegedly using abusive and obscene language during a phone conversation with a 33-year-old rape survivor, officials said on Wednesday.
The action came after an audio clip, purportedly of Inspector Naresh Malik of the Crime Branch, went viral on social media on Monday.
In the clip, he is allegedly heard speaking to the woman in an objectionable manner during his earlier posting as inspector (crime) at the local Ubhaon police station.
According to the police, a case was registered on February 20 at the Ubhaon police station based on the woman's complaint.
The woman had alleged that a forest department sub-inspector, Ugrasen Kumar Jaiswal, raped her about six months ago on the pretext of marriage. She also alleged that he threatened to kill her if she pursued the complaint.
In a separate complaint sent to the deputy inspector general of police, the survivor alleged that Malik and SHO Sanjay Shukla had called her and used abusive and obscene language, asking her to meet them alone. She further alleged that they told her her case would be helped only if she "satisfied" them, and that Malik even offered her money during the conversation.
Superintendent of Police Omveer Singh said the matter came to his notice on Monday, following which Malik was placed under suspension with immediate effect.
An inquiry has been ordered into the allegations, and Additional Superintendent of Police (North) Dinesh Kumar Shukla has been assigned to probe the matter, Singh said.
"Strict action will be taken against the accused based on the findings of the inquiry," the SP added.
