Jharkhand to probe officer’s misbehaviour with woman staff
By IANSWednesday, January 20, 2010
RANCHI - A probe has been ordered into the alleged misbehaviour of an education officer with a Dalit woman warden of a Ranchi residential school.
Veena Kumari was a warden in Kasturba Gandhi Girls Residential School situated at Ormanjhi block of Ranchi. She was sacked from the post in October last year.
Her father lodged a First Information Report (FIR) in September last year against District Education Superintendent Pradeep Chaube, alleging that he abused and misbehaved with his daughter. No action was taken despite the FIR.
State Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Hemlal Murmu told reporters Wednesday: “We have come across the case. We will look into it. If probe will find the officer guilty, we will take suitable action.”
Ranchi Deputy Commissioner K.K. Soan had ordered a probe in the entire episode. An Additional District Magistrate rank official will probe into the case and submit a report.
