Police today slapped another case against Inspector General of Police (IGP) Gautam Cheema and his two accomplices, including a woman, on charges of allegedly molesting a local resident.
This is the second FIR lodged by the district police against Cheema after he was booked for allegedly kidnapping a proclaimed offender (PO) recently.
However, Cheema and his accomplices were still absconding.
Confirming the development, Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Indermohan Singh Bhatti said that the case has been registered against Cheema, Ajay Chowdhary and Rashmi Negi at Mataur police station.
"We have booked them and also sent teams to nab them. Soon, all the accused will be arrested," the SSP said.
A woman, residing in Sector 70, had alleged that Cheema along with Chowdhary and some unidentified persons had come to her house on the night of March 20 and allegedly molested her and also threatened her and her husband.
Her husband, who was once allegedly a conman of Cheema, had been booked by Panchkula police last month for allegedly raping Rashmi Negi in a hotel. He was also wanted by Mohali and Chandigarh police in a fraud case.
Earlier, a kidnapping case was registered against Cheema on the complaint of an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), after he allegedly took a proclaimed offender (PO), Sumedh Gulati, who was booked in a fraud case, from Phase 1 police station here.
The woman, who lodged the molestation complaint, alleged that Cheema had taken Gulati to a hospital, where she was admitted after she had attempted suicide on the night of August 25.
