Court says women police are among the most vulnerable
A safe workplace is a woman’s legal right. It is pertinent to note that ironically, women police are among the most vulnerable to workplace harassment, Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has observed.
Dismissing an anticipatory bail petition filed by a suspended Inspector of Police from Dindigul district, Veeragandhi, who has been accused of sending inappropriate messages to a woman constable, Justice K. Murali Shankar observed that cases of sexual harassment at work place had become rampant in India. Recently the Madras High Court was constrained to take suo motu action against a top police officer for the alleged sexual harassment of an IPS Officer, the court said.
