New Delhi (Daily Pakistan Online) An Indian Army brigadier in Meghalaya’s capital Shillong has been accused of sexual harassment by the wife of a junior officer.
The Meghalaya Police has registered a case on the complaint, but no arrests have been made yet. There has been no official response from the Indian Army on the matter so far.
The complaint filed by the victim’s husband, who is a colonel-rank officer and is posted in Shillong, includes allegations of inappropriate behavior, physical threats and use of abusive language on several occasions.
According to “News18”, the latest incident took place on March 8 during a function held in the officers’ mess, where according to the victim, the brigadier continuously spoke to her indecent and continued his actions despite her refusal.
The woman says that the brigadier verbally abused her and physically threatened her, which forced her husband to intervene.
The complaint further states that the brigadier and the victim are also neighbors, and that they are in danger of losing their lives.
Earlier, on April 13, 2024, during a housewarming party, the brigadier had also made inappropriate comments about her attire.
Two months later, during a dinner, he allegedly forcibly held the victim’s hand, while her husband was also present.
The woman says that these incidents left her with severe mental trauma, due to which she could not immediately approach the police.
However, now, on her complaint, the police have registered a case under charges of sexual harassment, outrage on the dignity of women and criminal intimidation.
