F

resh trouble is brewing for suspended IPS officer Sunil Paraskar, as the Preliminary Enquiry (PE) proceedings found professional lapses on the part of the officer while he was additional commissioner. PE was conducted by joint commissioner of police (Administration) Vivek Phansalkar in connection with the allegations of rape and molestations against Paraskar. PE report has been submitted to city police chief Rakesh Maria as well as the state Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjeev Dayal. "There were professional lapses by Paraskar while performing his duty as additional commissioner (North Region),” said Maria. “PE report is based on the recorded statements of Paraskar, the lady victim and witnesses as well as other evidences gathered by crime branch while carrying out investigation in the case,” asserted Maria. The report will be submitted to

Sunil Paraskar state Home Minister by DGP following which a departmental inquiry will be ordered against Paraskar. The latter was suspended on August 26. Earlier, city police submitted an investigation progress report of Paraskar's rape case to Dayal, who had then forwarded it to the state

government. Based on this report the state government placed Paraskar under suspension. Subsequently, PE had been ordered to find out if there were any administrative lapses by Paraskar while dealing with the victim. According to sources, Paraskar, who claimed to have "friendly relationship" with the 25-year-old victim, a model by profession, violated Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules and his behaviour amounts to belittling the image of All-India Service Officers. One of the main points in the PE report is that Paraskar had travelled with the model beyond his professional jurisdiction (Navi Mumbai). Further, the officer accepted expensive gifts from her without prior permission of his seniors. Regular Continued on pg 8 «

ity Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria has finally been shown the green signal by the state government with regard to moving the Bombay High Court to challenge an order passed by Maharashtra Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) directing a judicial inquiry against Maria in connection with the alleged discrepancies in the 26/11 call records. An affidavit in this regard would be filed soon after consulting the lawyers concerned, the top cop said. The city police had approached the State Home Department seeking permission to challenge CIC Ratnakar Gaikwad's July order in the court. The transparency watchdog

had asked the state government to institute an inquiry headed by a sitting or retired judge under the Commission of Inquiry Act to go into why "misleading" information was provided to Vinita Kamte, wife of slain IPS officer Ashok Kamte, by Maria. "Considering the information available, it looks like in this matter misleading information was provided, deliberately no information was shared or information was destroyed, delays were caused in providing information etc. The commission agrees with the doubts raised by the complainant (Vinita Kamte)," Gaikwad had said in a scathing three-page order passed on July 9.
