Police deny lapse in probe into sexual harassment of accident victim in Kerala's Alappuzha

ALAPPUZHA (KERALA): (Apr 18) The Alappuzha District Police Chief has submitted a report to the State Police Chief denying any lapse in the investigation into a case in which a woman, injured in an accident, was allegedly sexually harassed while being taken to a hospital in Kayamkulam, officials on Monday said.

State Police Chief Ravada A Chandrasekhar had sought a detailed report from the Alappuzha District Police Chief after the victim alleged that the investigation was not on track, as her confidential statement had not been recorded and a medical examination had not been conducted even more than a week after the incident.

On April 4, the victim, who was travelling with a family friend in a vehicle, met with an accident at KPAC Junction.
