In a disturbing development, allegations of harassment within the Police Department have surfaced in Karnataka, with an SP-rank officer writing to the state police chief seeking permission to expose alleged misconduct by certain IPS officers.
The complainant is posted as SP in the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE) department. In the letter, the SP has alleged that some IPS officers in the state have been misusing their authority to harass subordinate staff. It has been claimed that a few IPS officers from outside the state were allegedly targeting Kannada-origin officers and misusing their positions to suppress them.
The SP has requested the DGP to facilitate a meeting with the Chief Minister, Home Minister, and Home Secretary to present detailed evidence regarding alleged harassment, abuse of power, and injustice within the department.
In a separate but similar incident, an inspector of the West DCRE police station, Srinivas, released a video accusing senior officers, including the SP and a DySP, of harassment and mental pressure.
In the video, he appealed to the state government to intervene and address the issue.
No official response has so far been issued by concerned authorities.
