Surat: The high drama involving woman lok rakshak dal (LRD) constable Sunita Yadav continued on Tuesday after she refused to accept a notice that policemen went to serve at her house regarding her absence from duty since July 9.
Police sources said that she refused to accept the notice and entered into verbal altercation with the cops.
She was also called for recording her statement at Amroli police station regarding the inquiry into the July 8 incident in Varachhha area when she had stopped state’s junior health minister Kishore alias Kumar Kanani’s son Prakash and his two friends for defying the curfew orders. The videos of the incident and her audio conversations with some fellow cops went viral on July 11 following which Prakash and two others were arrested for defying curfew orders.
However, she left before the questioning ended citing health reasons. Yadav told the inquiry officer that she will return after medical check-up. However, till 6pm she had not returned.
Meanwhile, the assistant commissioner of police (ACP) who was earlier tasked with the inquiry was changed on Tuesday. The inquiry has now been handed over to J K Pandya, ACP, F-division. Earlier, CK Patel, ACP, A-division, was conducting the probe. The inquiry officer was replaced since Yadav was posted in Varachha that is under supervision of CK Patel and she had made a call recording with Patel viral earlier. She had also made her call recording with police inspector of Varachha BN Sagar viral after the July 8 incident.
Over the last few days, Yadav has levelled allegations against her senior officers that they did not support her and forced her to let go people who were violating lockdown or curfew orders.
Earlier on Monday night, she held a Facebook live session and claimed that she has a lot more material regarding the July 8 incident which she will release soon. She also clarified that she has not resigned yet but will do so soon.
She claimed that her friend had helped her shoot the entire July 8 incident on camera which is helping her prove that she was right in taking on the minister’s son.
