The Border Security Force (BSF) has suspended a jawan on charges of molesting a local woman at a grocery store in restive Manipur last week, an official said on Tuesday.

A CCTV captured video of head constable Satish Prasad, donning his combat uniform and carrying an INSAS rifle, abusing the woman, was also shared widely on social media.

A BSF officer said the incident was reported on July 20 in Imphal West district and after the paramilitary force received a complaint, the allegation was checked and subsequently the trooper was suspended the same day.

A Court of Inquiry proceeding has been initiated against the head constable who belongs to the number 100 battalion of the force that was sent to the state as an ad-hoc unit for security duties in the wake of the ethnic violence in the northeastern state, the officer said.

The BSF has zero tolerance for such acts and a fair investigation will be conducted in this incident, he said.
