Two more inquiries on woman LRD cop

Surat: The city police commissioner on Thursday ordered two more inquiries against woman lok rakshak dal (LRD) constable, Sunita Yadav, who has shot to limelight since taking on state junior health minister Kishore alias Kumar Kanani’s son for defying curfew orders.
Yadav, who has unleashed an outburst on social media, now faces inquiry for making people do sit-ups on the road and for not accepting the notice seeking explanation for remaining absent from duty since July 9.
The feisty cop is already facing an inquiry into the entire July 8 run-in with Kanani’s son Prakash and his friends whom she had taken on for violating the curfew orders. The videos of the incident and her subsequent conversations with senior police officials had gone viral, making her an instant Twitter sensation.
“I have ordered two inquiries against her, one in a case of forcing people to do sit-ups on the road and second for not accepting the notice sent for absenteeism from duty,” police commissioner RB Brahmbhatt told TOI.
Yadav had allegedly made some people do sit-ups for violating social distancing in Matawadi locality of Varachha. Raju Godhani, a resident of Varachha, had also submitted an application earlier regarding her alleged high-handed behaviour. “After watching the video, I found that she is the same woman who harassed me and other people in Matawadi. I had complained about her and she was shifted to another location. But she continued with her abrasive behaviour,” Godhani alleged, while talking to TOI.
Also, Yadav had reportedly refused to accept the notice sent by police headquarters seeking explanation for not reporting to duty since July 9. She went on leave after the run-in with Kanani on the grounds that she was unwell. On July 14, when a police team went to serve her a notice, Yadav refused to accept it claiming she doesn’t know Gujarati. All three inquiries are being conducted by JK Pandya, assistant commissioner of police (ACP), F-division.
