Former Director general of police Rajesh Das was today sentenced to three years imprisonment for sexually harassing a fellow officer. A Villupuram court convicted the suspended IPS officer for sexually harassing a woman officer and sentenced him to three years of rigorous imprisonment.
The woman IPS officer had filed a complaint against the senior officer in February 2021, alleging the officer had made sexual advances when they were travelling on duty for the security of the then Chief Minister Edappadi K Palanisami.
The AIADMK government had suspended Das and constituted a six-member committee to investigate.
"The prosecution had recorded statements of 68 persons including police personnel. The officer can prefer an appeal and seek an immediate bail" said a member of the prosecution team.
