Two top IPS officers of Gurgaon are at war, with Joint Commissioner Bharti Arora accusing her boss Commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk of “falsely implicating” a family in a rape case and threatening her. But the charge has been denied by Virk.
The fight has reached the Director General of Police YP Singhal who said the entire matter will be probed by a senior officer.
Arora has levelled various serious charges against Virk, accusing him of slapping different charges against a family to falsely implicate them in a rape case. She has demanded a CBI probe into the matter.
When I started investigation into the rape case, I realised that the Commissioner of Police has falsely implicated an entire family in the case. I objected and told him ‘sir, this is wrong’. Then he started torturing me mentally and threatened me and said I leave the probe into the case otherwise I will be harmed.
–Bharti Arora, Joint Commissioner
She has claimed that the woman, who has filed the case, had filed three other rape cases on previous occasions also.
In her letter sent to the DGP, Arora has alleged that Virk was mentally torturing her over the inquiry and supervision of files in the rape case.
I want a CBI inquiry in the entire matter so that facts are unearthed. Otherwise there is no reason how an entire family has been falsely implicated, that too by a woman, who has got three different rape cases registered.
— Bharti Arora, Joint Commissioner
Reacting to this, Virk said, “These allegations are wrong... What can I say if someone is saying something?” He said both the officers have written to the DGP to inquire and take action. “These are official matters. Our department is dealing with it,” he added.
In Panchkula, the state police chief said he has received separate communications from the two officers pertaining to the case and added that the entire matter will be probed by a senior officer.
