CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government, on Monday evening, ordered the transfer of senior police officer Bharti Arora from Gurgaon, who was allegedly involved in a verbal spat with her senior officer over the investigation into a rape case.
Ms Arora was moved from her current assignment as joint commissioner of police in Gurgaon to the inconsequential posting as deputy inspector general (DIG) for welfare and training.
She had accused her boss, Navdeep Singh Virk, who is the Gurgaon commissioner of police, of "harassment and mental torture" and wrongly interfering in the enquiry into a high-profile rape case, involving the son of an Indian Administrative Service officer.
Mr Virk, however, denied the allegations.
Police sources said that Ms Arora's transfer came after the enquiry officer submitted his report.
The complainant was Mr Bhardwaj's former live-in partner, a resident of Ardee City Gurgaon, with whom she has a child. He was arrested by Gurgaon police from his office in Noida on August 1, 2014.
She claimed that Ajay Bhardwaj and his family were intentionally implicated in the rape case. The officer said that complainant had earlier slapped such charges on two men.
Mr Virk has also sent a report to the DGP alleging that Ms Arora is bent on saving the rape accused as his sister is known to her.
Mr Virk, responding to the allegations, said: "I am sad that the valued colleague had to issue false statements in the media in matters which are official and under the consideration of the police headquarters, to hide her own misconduct."
