SIRSA: A woman sweeper of the municipal council on Wednesday accused an assistant sanitary inspector of the civic body of sexual abuse for the past three years. The incident came to light when the victim, accompanied by co-workers, met the superintendent of police, who has ordered a probe.
In her complaint, the 38-year-old victim had elaborated the incidents when she was subjected to sexual abuse. She also accused Vidya Dhar, assistant sanitary inspector, of threatening her with dire consequences.
Vidya Dhar, however, denied the allegations, saying, "Allegations against me are baseless and I am ready to face any kind of investigation or test.''
SP Devender Yadav said, "Yes, workers of municipal council visited the office and gave me a complaint letter. Police will check the matter. If found guilty, police will take action against the accused."
Earlier, high drama prevailed when sweepers staged a protest in the SP office here. It was only after the agitating sweepers raised anti-police and anti-civic body slogans, their representatives, along with the victim, were called by the SP for an interaction.
