Drunk cop booked, suspended for hurling invectives at woman metropolitan magistrate

A police constable, suspected to be drunk while on duty, has been booked and later suspended for allegedly misbehaving with a woman metropolitan magistrate in South-east Delhi’s Kalindi Kunj area, police said on Thursday.

“An FIR has been registered in connection with the matter and the constable has been put under suspension,” a senior police official said.

The incident took place on Sunday when the magistrate with her family had gone to a ghat in Kalindi Kunj in her car to perform some ritual. When she was about to return, she saw the constable taking pictures.

In her complaint, the magistrate told police that the constable was in an inebriated state and verbally abused her when she asked her why he was taking pictures.

She called up the police and waited for them to arrive locking herself and her family inside the car. Meanwhile, the constable, identified as Ravinder Kumar, allegedly kept abusing her.

He allegedly kept making baseless accusations on seeing an official sticker on the judge’s windshield and also threatened to frame her in a false case of assaulting a policeman.
