MUMBAI: A 33-year-old Kalachowkie resident who sent over 200 emails to police demanding action against a woman constable for allegedly verbally abusing him two years ago, has been booked for outraging the modesty of woman as his latest mails contained vulgar words.
Sachin Chefalkar, who lives opposite Kalachowkie police station, had first sent an email to the police station in 2016 alleging that a woman constable had abused him when he was standing in his fourth floor home balcony. According to sources, when a police team went to meet him, he, however, did not give them further details and instead asked them to refer his email.
He subsequently started sending emails to the police station, the deputy commissioner, the additional commissioner's office and the city police commissioner. "He would forward the same email with some fresh addition," said a police source.
Meanwhile, he allegedly abused a policeman some time ago and a non-cognisable complaint was lodged at Kalachowkie police station. The investigators approached the court seeking permission to investigate the complaint. "When we went to his house, he did even not allow his father to speak to us. He just told us that we should go back and check his complaint and take action," added an officer. A police source said they were fed up with his frequent mails.
Sources said Chefalkar recently sent a few derogatory emails to the police. "Women constables who check emails as Routine Writers' work, opened his email and were shocked to see the vulgar language used in it. Chefalkar had used abusive words for woman," a police officer said. Following this, a woman constable lodged an FIR against Chefalkar under sections 509 (outraging the modesty of a woman) and 500 (Punishment for defamation) of the
Indian Penal Code. "We have registered an FIR and probing it," added the officer.
