Bengaluru: Two cops suspended after beautician accuses them of cheating, sexual harassment
Bengaluru (PTI): Two police officials have been suspended following a complaint by a city-based beautician who accused them of "cheating, criminal intimidation, and sexual harassment", police said on Monday.
Police Inspector Sunil H B and Assistant Sub-Inspector Prakash, both attached to the DJ Halli police station in Bengaluru, have been placed under suspension, they said.
According to police, in her complaint, the woman alleged that about a year ago, Sunil took her contact number under the pretext of helping her in a financial dispute case and began messaging her.
After befriending her, he allegedly invited her to his flat in Peenya.
She further alleged that Sunil later booked a hotel room, where he "established physical relations with her on the pretext of marriage."
However, a few months later, he began avoiding her, following which she realised she had been cheated, the complaint stated.
The woman also accused ASI Prakash of demanding sexual favours, police said.
Based on her complaint, a case has been registered against both officials under Sections 351(2) (criminal intimidation), 69 (sexual intercourse by deceitful means), and 75(1) (sexual harassment) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), a senior police officer said.
All allegations are under investigation, and Peenya police officials are probing the case.

Screenwriter Salim Khan on ventilator support and stable, say doctors
Mumbai (PTI): Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan suffered a brain haemorrhage which has been tackled, is on ventilator support as a safeguard and stable, doctors treating him said on Wednesday, a day after he was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital here.
The 90-year-old, one half of the celebrated Salim-Javed duo which scripted films such as "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Don" with Javed Akhtar, is in the ICU and recovery might take some time given his age.
"His blood pressure was high for which we treated him and we had to put him on a ventilator because we wanted to do certain investigations. Now the ventilator was put as a safeguard so that his situation doesn't get worse. So it is not that he is critical," Dr Jalil Parkar told reporters.
"We did the investigations that were required and today we have done a small procedure on him, I will not go into the details. The procedure done is called DSA (digital subtraction angiography). The procedure has been accomplished, he is fine and stable and shifted back to ICU. By tomorrow, we hope to get him off the ventilator. All in all, he is doing quite well," he added.
Asked whether he suffered a brain haemorrhage, the doctor said, "Unko thoda haemorrhage hua tha, which we’ve tackled. No surgery is required.
As concern over Khan's health mounted, his children, including superstar Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan, daughter Alvira, and sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, have been seen outside the hospital along with other well-wishers. His long-time partner Akhtar was also seen coming out of the hospital.
Khan, a household name in the 70s and 80s, turned 90 on November 24 last year. It was the day Dharmendra, the star of many of his films, including "Sholay", "Seeta aur Geeta" and "Yaadon Ki Baraat", passed away.
Hailing from an affluent family in Indore, Khan arrived in Mumbai in his 20s with dreams of stardom. He was good looking and confident he would make a mark in the industry as an actor. But that did not happen. And then, after struggling for close to a decade and getting confined to small roles in films, he changed lanes.
He worked as an assistant to Abrar Alvi and soon met Akhtar to form one of Hindi cinema's most formidable writing partnerships. They worked together on two dozen movies with most of them achieving blockbuster status.
Other than "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Don", Khan and Akhtar also penned "Trishul", "Zanjeer", "Seeta Aur Geeta", "Haathi Mere Saathi", "Yaadon Ki Baarat" and "Mr India".
