KANPUR: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Friday suspended deputy superintendent of police Amarjeet Singh Shahi on charges of sexually exploiting the 17-year-old daughter of an Indian Air Force officer. Taking strong note of the charges against the officer, Akhilesh also ordered department action against him. The girl also alleged that Shahi had made obscene MMS of her and was blackmailing her.
The inquiry was constituted after the girl's father complained about Shahi to DGP Ambrish Chandra Sharma. Shahi is circle officer of Kunda Kotwali in Pratapgarh district while the girl's father is an IAF flying instructor.
A UP government spokesman said that Shahi's conduct was found to be unprofessional and disgraceful as per the Civil Service Regulation Act of 1956.
The shocking case of exploitation of the minor came to light on March 13 when the girl drank poison in her parents' presence at her home in the cantonment area. She was taken to hospital. The case was investigated after instructions from then IG Chandra Prakash, and Shahi was found guilty. The girl's father also claimed that the accused had threatened him and asked for the cases to be withdrawn.
"He has been suspended because he allegedly got involved in a criminal offence and also for not acting as per the civil service regulation act of 1956," said IG Piyush Anand. Recently, the girl, her parents and members of social organizations had protested and demanded justice from the CM, following which his office issued the order.
On April 3, the girl told cops that Shahi had prepared an obscene MMS and a CD during his posting at Cantt circle office in 2010. He was blackmailing her ever since. The girl and her parents also alleged that the local police had registered a case on the basis of an old complaint instead of the fresh application given to then DIG Rajesh Rai, which carried the charge of rape. IG Anand has asked DIG Amitabh Yash to file an FIR against Shahi and take further action.
