Karwar: Superintendent of Police Deepan N M has issued order suspending Kadra sub-inspector Sunil Bandivaddar on charges of dereliction of duty and negligence in connection with the alleged suicide of a woman.
Rischel D’Souza of Kadra had recently died by suicide. The sub-inspector in question, prima facie, has shown negligence in conducting the probe and in following the procedure, including the post-mortem, in the case. Hence, the officer is placed under suspension pending enquiry, the SP said.
The woman had ended her life at her house on January 9.
The family members of the deceased woman had lodged a complaint with Kadra police, blaming Rischel’s friend Chirag Kotarkar for her death.
Expressing their displeasure over police inaction, the family members and Christian organisations have alleged that the suspect has not been arrested despite lodging a complaint a week back.
