Ex Tamil Nadu Top Cop Convicted For Sexually Harassing Woman OfficerFormer Director general of police Rajesh Das was today sentenced to three years imprisonment for sexually harassing a fellow officer. A Villupuram court convicted the suspended IPS officer for sexually harassing a woman officer and sentenced him to three years of rigorous imprisonment and also levied a fine of Rs 10,000 on him.

The woman IPS officer had filed a complaint against the senior officer in February 2021, alleging the officer had made sexual advances when they were travelling together on patrol duty for the security of the then Chief Minister Edappadi K Palanisami.

The AIADMK government had suspended Das and constituted a six-member committee to investigate.

"The prosecution had recorded statements of 68 persons including police personnel. The officer can prefer an appeal and seek an immediate bail" said a member of the prosecution team.

This issue had become a poll issue in 2021 and the then leader of opposition MK Stalin had assured due legal process and punishment if voted to power.
