DySP Suspended For Harassing Lady Constable

Deputy Superintendent of Police Shamba Sawant was suspended on Friday for allegedly sexually harassing a lady constable.

The victim had accused Sawant of sending her lewd text messages and forcing her for sex. The incident was reported in July 2011.

Sawant was found guilty in the inquiry conducted against him by DySP Rina Tarcoto when he was posted with the Crime Branch last year.
