Patna, July 10
A DIG of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) has been accused by the wife of an IPS officer of trying to outrage her modesty in a Patna-bound train on Sunday.
An FIR was lodged by Sujata Preyasi, the wife of IPS officer Gautam Chima, with GRP in Patna against DIG P J Rawal, who is posted in New Delhi, Bihar’s home secretary Afzal Amanullah told reporters here today.
Railway minister Lalu Prasad, however, said here that RPF director-general M K Sinha had informed him that “nothing of that sort had happened”. He told reporters, “If a case has been registered by the aggrieved person, the law will take its own course.” Neither Rawal nor Preyasi were available immediately for comments.
Preyasi, who was travelling with her daughter and her sister Vandana, a Bihar cadre IAS officer, entered her complaint in the register of the Sampoorna Kranti Express, charging Rawal with trying to outrage her modesty under the influence of liquor when she was asleep in the lower berth.
