Police Inspector Suspended Over Abusive Language in Viral Audio

A police inspector in Ubhaon has been suspended after a viral audio clip revealed him using abusive language towards a rape survivor. The clip led to an inquiry, with allegations that police personnel demanded inappropriate favors from the survivor in exchange for helping her case.

An inspector from the Crime Branch has been suspended after a viral audio clip exposed him using abusive language towards a rape survivor during a phone conversation, according to local officials.

The clip, featuring Inspector Naresh Malik, surfaced on social media on Monday, depicting a conversation which occurred during his tenure at the Ubhaon police station. This prompted immediate suspension as police initiated a thorough investigation into the allegations.

The case began with the woman's complaint in February against a forest department sub-inspector for rape. Further complaints against Inspector Malik suggested an abuse of power, as he allegedly demanded inappropriate favors to aid in her legal case.
