Cop Sexually Harassed Woman In Nagpur

Case filed against the accused?


On Sunday, an official said, a police inspector from Maharashtra's Akola district has been booked for allegedly molesting a 22-year-old woman in Nagpur.

Dhananjay Sayre, 53 years old, posted at Khadan police station in Akola district, is an acquaintance of the woman's father.

In her complaint, the woman said Dhananjay Sayre was in touch with her on the reason for helping her prepare for competitive exams.

She grew suspicious when Dhananjay Sayre frequently called her and asked her to stay with him for guidance.

The woman then stopped talking with Dhananjay Sayre.

The policeman traced the young woman's location and arrived in Nagpur on Saturday. When she stepped out for work, he followed her for some distance and grabbed her hand.

The official said Dhananjay Sayre fled the scene after she raised her voice.

Acting on the woman's complaint, the Nandanvan police in the city booked Dhananjay Sayre for molestation, the official added.
