IPS officer approaches HC for anticipatory bail
Kochi, Sept. 25 (PTI): An IPS officer posted in the state has approached Kerala High Court to seek anticipatory bail, apprehending arrest by Yerwada police following a complaint of harrassment filed by his wife Dr Jasleen Virk, daughter of the Punjab DGP.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Vikramjit Singh said in his petition that his wife had filed a “false” case of dowry harrassment and mental torture against him and his parents, who live in Pune.
The petitioner said the complaint was an outcome of “personal vendetta”.
Singh said they got married on June 5 last year in Patiala while he was undergoing training at National Police Academy in Hyderabad.
He said his wife however came to live with him when he was posted at Kerala Police Academy in Thrissur in January last.
They later shifted to the state capital, Singh said and claimed that Jasleen did not find the “modest status and privileges of a trainee IPS officer in Thiruvananthapuram to her satisfaction”, compared to privileges enjoyed by her in Chandigarh as the DGP’s daughter.
He said Jasleen returned to Chandigarh on May two and informed him that she was not ready to return. Singh said his wife later filed a complaint before Pune Judicial Magistrate First Class, who directed Yerwada police to register a case.
Justice J M James posted the matter for hearing on November 28.
