A charge sheet has been filed against police inspector Amit Kumar, an accused in death case of journalist Pooja Tiwari who allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of her residential building here in May, police said today.
The SIT probing the suicide case has completed its investigation and filed its charge sheet against Kumar for "abetting her to commit suicide", a police spokesperson said.
On May 2, 28-year-old woman journalist Pooja Tiwari, working with an online news portal, had allegedly committed suicide by jumping from her residential building, but her family suspects foul play in her death and has demanded a CBI probe into it.
On May 6, Haryana Police inspector Amit Kumar was arrested in connection with the case. He was present at the fifth-floor flat in Sector 46 from on that night when Pooja allegedly fell to her death.
On Jue 29, forensic team recreated the "fall" scene as narrated by the accused police inspector.
Later, Dangi and others left the police station and the
two scribes were allowed to leave from there early morning yesterday.
The condition of the journalists worsened after reaching home, after which they narrated the incident to their editor. On a complaint over the incident, senior police officers swung into action and suspended the three policemen.
The SSP said the duo was taken to a government hospital where they are undergoing treatment. Medical reports confirmed that they suffered injuries, he said.
"It was confirmed that the two policemen had beaten up the scribes, confined them to the police station and did not register any case against them, which amounts to negligence on their part. And therefore, they have been placed under suspension," the senior officer said.
An inquiry has been ordered against the policemen concerned with regards to the issue, he added.
