‘CCTV footage also collected’ The State government on Wednesday informed the Madras High Court that the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) had so far examined 50 witnesses and collected CCTV footage following a complaint lodged by a woman SP last month accusing the then Special DGP of having harassed her sexually. The complainant had charged another Superintendent of Police with having waylaid her when she was on the way to lodge a complaint.
When a public interest litigation petition seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the issue was listed for admission before Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy, special senior counsel for the State government A.L. Somayaji said that apart from the criminal investigation carried out by the CB-CID, an inquiry by the Internal Complaints Committee was under way against the former Special DGP with respect to the charge of sexual harassment at workplace.
