Jaipur: A Rajasthan police officer lodged a case against his junior officer for allegedly making casteist remarks during a meeting at the police headquarters here, police said.

"The FIR was lodged against SP Telecommunications Neetu Bugalia on Friday based on the complaint of Director- Police Telecommunications Daulatram Atal under sections of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act," Jyoti Nagar SHO Santara Meena said on Sunday.
